Colorado ASTA History

We at Colorado ASTA understand and recognize the path our chapter has taken in order for us to be the sustaining organization we are today. Without our volunteer board members throughout history paving the way for us, Colorado ASTA would not exist. We would like to recognize our former leaders, our award winners and our members working at the National level and thank them for their service and dedication to string education.
