The Recording Academy has elected Shani to the Atlanta Chapter Board of Governors. The Atlanta Chapter works toward maintaining a membership that reflects the diversity of its music community by providing engaging educational, professional and social opportunities that invite the participation of its members. The Chapter’s long-term goal is to offer a nurturing environment for the Southeast recording community, to maximize the leadership talents of the many volunteers who are the heart of the organization, to build coalitions with other arts organizations that share a common vision of the importance of the arts and arts education, and to provide quality, cutting-edge educational opportunities for its members.

Each city Chapter (Atlanta, New York, Los Angeles, Nashville, etc) has a Board, which is elected by the members of that Chapter and who are entrusted to steer the Chapter’s local programming. The Board elects Trustees who are responsible for the financial health of The Recording Academy and who develop policy at the National level. We encourage members to get involved in their Chapter’s leadership, serving on committees and taking a leadership role in the development of Academy initiatives.
