Big Changes at Gospel Music Association

GMAlogo.jpgThere's some big changes afoot at the Gospel Music Association HQ, which are reported to be the result of the current economic downturn.

The Gospel Music Association announced yesterday that John Styll is stepping down as President, allowing "the Board to substitute a managerial level professional to oversee staff at the GMA office." Several other paid staff positions were eliminated earlier this year.

According to a press release, the GMA "Board of Directors approved a plan to return the association to a more volunteer-driven operation with a scaled down staff that will facilitate and coordinate GMA events and programs."

Along with that comes word that Gospel Music Week 2010 will see some changes as well. Word has it that the event will focus more on artist showcases and networking opportunities, and less on instructional seminars and tracks.
