Leadership Music Now Accepting Applications for Class of 2023

Submission Deadline is February 28

Nashville, TN (2-1-22) – Today (February 1), Leadership Music begins accepting applications from established music industry leaders for the Class of 2023. Applications will be accepted online only throughout the month of February.

The Nashville-based national program is designed to educate participants in various segments of the music industry, as well as encourage dialogue and understanding among industry leaders and explore the challenges facing the music business. Each class meets in-person for one monthly 12-hour program day plus two-day Opening and Closing Retreats.

The eight-month program is structured so that class participants attend an Opening Retreat in October, followed by six all-day sessions once a month, ending in May with graduation at Closing Retreat. The application, program dates, policies and FAQs are available at https://leadershipmusic.org/program/.

“For the past several years, we have received more than 300 applications for the Leadership Music program, from which the selection committee chooses approximately 45 participants,” explained Leadership Music Executive Director Debbie Linn. “One reason the process is so competitive is the reputation the national program has garnered from alumni during its 33-year history. They recognize how important and transformative the process was for them, the value of the educational component, and the unique community created from that experience with their class and the organization itself. The selection committee is tasked with choosing a class composed of passionate, balanced and diversified professionals who are leaders in their field representing all segments of the music industry globally.”

A recent Leadership Music graduate commented, “The Leadership Music program was the experience of a lifetime. I couldn’t have asked for more. I’m very thankful for the opportunity and hope that I can continue to serve the organization and provide others with the incredibly rewarding experience that I was given.”

Applications must be submitted via the on-line process no later than midnight, February 28, 2022.
