Gospel Music Assoiciation


“Gospel Music Association serves as the face and voice for the Christian/Gospel music community…” (GMA).  This association was founded 1964 and with over 4000 members it continues to assist many organizations, artist and individual professionals in creating a positive environment and good name for the Gospel community.  While looking for an organization to participate with, I found that this organization would also help to fulfill many of the goals for my company.  Through programs such as the Dove Awards, IMMERSE or GMA Music Week, members are able to join together for achievement awards, different seminars performances and networking. “ Dove Awards is a televised awards ceremony that recognizes achievements in all genres of Christian and Gospel music.”(GMA). The GMA Music Week is an event that meets yearly in April for educational seminars, networking and more.  Immerse is a talent competition and training for artists, songwriters, worship leasers and future music business professionals.  These are the type of tools that would be useful within my company.  Our goals to educate our employees as well as the clients would fit well with these opportunities.  This would only be the start.  There are other opportunities we would be able to take advantage of, such as the advertisements and the resources.
    As an organizational member my company could have an ePROFILE, a direct link to my companies website as well as use of the GMA”S logo in all corporate communications.  They have also added a new feature in which platinum members would have two weeks of banner advertisement in the GMA’s official newsletter.
GMA also offers a Weekly Industry Newsletter Access as well as a discount to Christian SoundScan subscription.  With these subscriptions the company will have access to current news in the industry through the GMAS newsletter, which is offered to the entire staff.  They have added a new resource is which we would also have access to the GMA’s staff.  This would include staff members from the board of directors, volunteers, and members.  This could be a daily access of networking.
