ABOUT AMAA

Mission Statement
The Americana Music Association of Australia is a professional not-for-profit group whose aim is to advocate for and promote the voices of American Roots Music in Australia and overseas.
We will achieve this through activities such as:
- Encouraging collaboration and networking within the membership and with the wider musical community to create mutually beneficial opportunities to enjoy, create and advance Americana music in Australia

MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE 2018
It takes a team of dedicated, passionate (and a little crazy) professionals to run an association like the AMAA, so in order to do this, we appoint a management committee consisting of elected members – President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary, and regular board members. The committee is elected every year in December, and serves for a period of one year.
To contact a board member, click on their name below and they will be more than happy to help.
