Are you a leader in our local music community? Are you committed to the professional and educational goals of The Recording Academy? Are you interested in serving the music community along with a dynamic group of other Academy leaders? If this describes you, we urge you to submit an application to be considered as a Nashville Chapter Governor.
In recruiting applicants for nomination by the Chapter's Nominating Committee, the Nashville Chapter is committed to achieving diversity of genre, gender, age, and ethnicity.
What are the responsibilities? Simply put, The Recording Academy Governors chart the course for their Chapters. Additional responsibilities include attendance at monthly Board meetings, committee service and membership outreach. Governors serve two-year terms and may run for re-election once before having to step down for one year.
What is the process for getting on the ballot? The Nominating Committee will select two candidates from each membership category and candidates from voting and associate categories to run "at-large." The Nominating Committee — comprised of current Nashville Chapter Governors, Officers and Trustees — has the sole discretion in the selection of candidates.

All forms should be completed and submitted via e-mail to Ashely Lamb Ernst at ashley.ernst@grammy.com by Jan. 23.
Keep in mind that submitting your form to the Chapter does not guarantee that you will be included on our ballot. The Nominating Committee reviews all applications and collectively decides on the best candidates to present to the membership.
The GRAMMY Foundation cultivates the understanding, appreciation and advancement of the contribution of recorded music to American culture — from the artistic and technical legends of the past to the still unimagined musical breakthroughs of future generations of music professionals. The Foundation offers programs and activities that engage the music industry and cultural community as well as the general public, and works in partnership year-round with The Recording Academy to bring national attention to important issues such as the value and impact of music and arts education and the urgency of preserving our rich cultural heritage.
