ACADEMY ADDS 19 NEW TRUSTEES

The Recording Academy has added 19 people to its 2022-23 National Board of Trustees. The newly elected trustees join the Academy's midterm trustees, including national officers Tammy Hurt (chair), Rico Love (vice chair), Om'Mas Keith (secretary/treasurer) and Christine Albert (chair emeritus).

Eight trustees were elected to their first terms and 11 were re-elected to second terms. All positions are subject to two two-year term limits.

"I'm honored and excited to welcome this diverse and accomplished group of creatives to the Academy's leadership team," said CEO Harvey Mason Jr. "These newly elected leaders will be instrumental in continuing the Academy's transformation by serving as representatives for their peers on all things, from refining the Grammy Awards process to advocating for creators rights and beyond. We thank the Academy members who participated in this year's elections and look forward to the continued progress that this esteemed group of trustees will achieve."
