In making the announcement, Conlon said, “Kay has been a key member of our communications team since 2005. She has earned the trust of Nashville’s music and songwriting community through 20 years of representing and championing some of the city’s s most legendary and significant musicians. Her creative focus, entrepreneurial spirit and exceptional execution skills all add up to a win for BMI songwriters and music publishers and the music industry at large.”

She also directed media campaigns for artists including Ron Sexsmith, Radney Foster, Jack Ingram and Hoodoo Gurus.

Along with Clary, Conlon also announced the promotion of David F. Bills to Executive Director of Online Communications.

Bills joined BMI in 2000 as Director of Online Communications & Webmaster, where he was responsible for a complete overhaul of the BMI website. Prior to BMI, he held various positions in technology, design and production consulting in the media, print, food and pharmaceutical industries including NBC, Apple Computer, Computer Science Corporation and Boehringer Ingelheim.
