Ken White has exited his position as Executive Director of The International Bluegrass Music Association.

“It has been a dream of a lifetime and a privilege beyond measure serving as the Executive Director of this organization,” White shares. “I gave my whole heart to this music that stole it sixty years ago in my home state of Kentucky. Perhaps I’m most proud of the formidable team I was fortunate to assemble – Elizabeth Dewey, Amy Combs, Maggie O’Connor, Haley Grimm and Amy Beth Hale. You are in good hands with these extraordinary folks. I was preaching the gospel of bluegrass music long before I came to Nashville, and I’ll be singing the tenor part and picking an old Martin forevermore. I continue to be a proud lifetime member of IBMA.”

“Ken is beloved within our family, and we appreciate his dedication to the IBMA. We wish him the very best,” adds Anna Frick, Chair of the IBMA Board of Directors.

Paul Schiminger will serve as Interim Executive Director. Additional information about the executive search process will be shared in the coming weeks.
