CMA Launches Member Ambassador Program

THE COUNTRY MUSIC ASSOCIATION LAUNCHES
MEMBER AMBASSADOR PROGRAM

The Country Music Association has officially launched its CMA Member Ambassador Program, a new initiative designed to empower a dynamic group of CMA members to champion the organization’s mission and build stronger connections across the Country Music community. Representing a range of roles and experiences across the industry, these Ambassadors will help recruit new CMA members, promote CMA initiatives, and generate excitement around the benefits of being part of CMA’s member community.

“This program is about investing in the people who make our industry stronger—those who lead by example, give back, and help elevate others,” says Tiffany Kerns, CMA Senior Vice President, Industry Relations & Philanthropy. “Our Ambassadors embody what it means to build community, and we’re proud to partner with them as they help shape the future of CMA and Country Music.”

Fifteen inaugural Ambassadors were selected through an application process and recently participated in the program’s first onboarding session on Thursday, April 10. Each Ambassador will help extend CMA’s reach by engaging with peers, participating in events, and fueling enthusiasm for CMA’s ongoing work in advocacy, recognition, and community-building. The program also offers a leadership platform for Ambassadors to expand their professional networks and grow their impact within the industry.

The inaugural CMA Member Ambassadors are:

• Melissa Bollea Rowe (Songwriter/Publisher/Artist, Rhyme Partners Music Publishing)
• Rachael Bronstein (Founder & Financial Coach, Life’s Jam)
• Brei Carter (Artist)
• Matt Castillo (Artist)
