Ina Meskers has always been involved in barbershop, first with The Flying High Singers from Nieuw Vennep and now with No Borders Show Chorus. Throughout the years, she has always been there somewhere within the chorus – helping out – lending a hand. She was one of the founder members of No Borders Show Chorus and last year she helped sort out all our travel arrangements and was always somewhere in the background during the 2016 Regional Convention in Newcastle to help out, answer questions and generally lift everyone’s spirits.
Ina is our Secretary, but no ordinary Secretary. She makes sure that we are all up to date with all of the many wonderful things that the chorus is involved with. Whether it’s posting the minutes of Board Meetings, details of the hotel in Newcastle for the coming Convention, stepping up to take over the Membership post when needed. It seems as if whenever the chorus needs to get something done – Ina is there to make sure it happens. She takes time at rehearsals to answer all the questions that are raised, she keeps track of who is at the rehearsals, takes time to contact members who have missed rehearsals and supports members who are unable to attend because of illness or personal issues.
On top of this, she has been helping out with the new No Borders Show Chorus Members Site, sorting out all the files and making it all a lot easier for all of the chorus to access all the information needed. No Borders Show Chorus is very lucky to have such a dedicated Secretary and chorus member!
