Michelle Kirk will join the CMA Foundation, the Country Music Association’s philanthropic arm, as Senior Director, effective Dec. 1.

Kirk began her journey with CMA in 2012 as Strategic Partnerships Coordinator before advancing to Senior Manager of Strategic Partnerships. In 2015, she joined to WME as Brand Partnerships Agent. Kirk returned to CMA in 2019 as Director of Integrated Marketing, and was recently promoted to Senior Director of Integrated Marketing.

Reporting to CMA Foundation Executive Director/CMA Senior Vice President, Industry Relations & Philanthropy Tiffany Kerns, she will be involved in strategic planning, program development and operational oversight. As Senior Director, Kirk will also represent the foundation by forming relationships with stakeholders, artists, partners and donors.

“We are thrilled to welcome Michelle to our team,” says Kerns. “Her expertise and fresh perspective align perfectly with our strategic vision for growth and innovation. As we move forward, I am confident that she will play a pivotal role in helping us reach new heights, creating lasting impact and driving meaningful progress. Together, we’re building a future full of possibilities!”

“I am thrilled to be joining the CMA Foundation team in this new role,” shares Kirk. “My time overseeing the integrated marketing efforts and building strong partnerships at CMA has prepared me to enhance the mission and drive impactful initiatives at the CMA Foundation. I’m looking forward to collaborating with the team and community to continue to elevate our impact.”
