AIMP Nashville To Host ‘State of the Music Publishing Industry’
David Israelite.
The Nashville Chapter of the Association of Independent Music Publishers (AIMP) is set to host “State of the Music Publishing Industry: An Update from David Israelite,” taking place Sept. 23 at 11:00 a.m. at The Listening Room Café in Nashville.
Israelite is the President and CEO of the National Music Publishers’ Association (NMPA). Since taking the helm of the NMPA in 2005, he has overseen groundbreaking victories on behalf of publishers and songwriters, including the largest Copyright Royalty Board rate increase in history, landmark royalty agreements with streaming platforms, and the passage of the Music Modernization Act, which created the Mechanical Licensing Collective (MLC). Named multiple times to Billboard’s Power 100, Israelite also serves on the boards of the Songwriters Hall of Fame and Special Olympics DC, and previously served on the board of the Country Music Association (CMA). In addition, he is President of the NMPA S.O.N.G.S. Foundation, which supports emerging songwriters through scholarships and direct services.
“David’s leadership has been pivotal in shaping the legal and business framework that underpins our entire industry,” says AIMP Nashville President, John Ozier. “We’re thrilled to host him in Nashville for what promises to be an invaluable session for publishers, songwriters and industry professionals navigating today’s rapidly changing landscape.”
