CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments
| I am encouraged by the growth of the IBMA Foundation during the past few years, and it's an honor to work with the current members on our board of directors. We are focused on building programs (increased funding for project grants), an academic scholar award, endowing and administering three college scholarships, plus funding and distributing grants from a new initiative to encourage participation in bluegrass music by people of color. We're also getting involved again with producing teacher workshops. If you would like to work with us to strengthen the future of bluegrass music, please contact us! -Nancy Cardwell, IBMA Foundation Executive Director |
