The Nashville Chapter of the Recording Musicians Association (RMA)
works to protect the interests of its members in the many Local 257 and
International AFM issues that affect our livelihood. The diverse group
of professional musicians who make up RMA Nashville's membership are
active in all areas of recording and electronic media, including song
demos, jingles, independent projects, and major label recordings. We
also represent touring musicians, many of whom also appear on
television regularly.
Our goals are as follows...
1.)
To protect the rights and interests of our members, by participating in
all applicable AFM
negotiations with Industry, and contributing "real world" input to AFM
policy decisions in
all areas that affect our members.
2.) To give our members a unified voice within our Union and
Local 257. Professional
musicians are a
minority within the
AFM, and the RMA exists to make sure that
your voice is heard,
and your rights as a full time working musician
are protected.
3.)
To foster better communication and transparency between AFM members and
Union Leadership. The Music Industry is
changing at a rapid pace, and the RMA is
trying to
help the AFM keep pace with today's
constantly shifting business environment.
4.)
To promote "On the Card" Union recording by offering our members and
potential employers
accurate, easy to understand information on the various Agreements and associated AFM paperwork. Our online RMA Directory is now a very efficient way
to find the finest recording musicians to be found anywhere, and gives
each member a
chance to promote themselves with an exclusive "Player Profile" page.
