The New York Chapter would like to welcome newly elected Chapter Board President Steve Sterling, Vice President Barry Eastmond, and Secretary April Silver and newly elected Trustees Jimmy Bralower, Charlie Feldman and Beth Ravin.

In supporting The Academy's greening efforts, the New York Chapter will present selected events as E-mail Specials. Invitations for these events will only be sent to Chapter members for whom we have e-mail addresses. This will also allow the Chapter to provide invitations on short notice when sending them via postal delivery is not feasible. Featured events will range from networking mixers and professional development seminars to members-only movie screenings. To ensure you will be notified regarding these special events, please send an e-mail to newyork@grammy.com with the subject line "E-mail Specials" and include your name and current e-mail address. Please also update your spam control to allow e-mails from addresses ending in grammy.com. E-mail Specials event information will also be listed on the New York Chapter Web page.
The GRAMMY University Network is a unique and fast-growing community of college students who are pursuing a career in the music industry. The Recording Academy created GRAMMY U to help prepare students for careers in the recording industry through networking, educational programs and performance opportunities. GRAMMY U is designed to enhance students' current academic curriculum with access to recording industry professionals to give an "out of classroom" perspective on the recording industry.
Members of GRAMMY U enjoy many of the benefits offered to The Academy's voting, associate and affiliate members, but at a quarter of the cost of membership. Annual membership in GRAMMY U is $25, compared to the $100 membership.
To join GRAMMY U, click here and begin the next step in developing your career in the recording industry.
The New York Chapter is currently accepting applications for new prospective GRAMMY U Representatives. Please call the Chapter office at 212.245.5440 for details.
We encourage our New York Chapter members who have not renewed their membership to do so. We would like to thank those members that have renewed.
