COLORADO MUSIC INDUSTRY
ASSOCIATION
PO BOX 12592
DENVER, CO 80212
The Colorado Music Industry AssociationsÕ purpose is to promote the benefits of music, music performance, and music education to all citizens of Colorado without regard to age, sex, marital status, sexual orientation, religion or race. CMIA emphasizes the positive social and economic impact of the music industry and music consumers throughout our communities and state. This is our Mission Statement.
The organization came about as a result of a discussion between professional musicians, music educators and leading business people in music. While the various Colorado Music Educator associations do a wonderful job, they are restricted in their activities by the 501(c)(3) nonprofit status. The goal of CMIA is to bring together aspects of all parts of the music community and promote and lobby as needed with local and state officials. We have filed with the Internal Revenue Service to become a 501(c)(6) Òprofessional organizationÓ and expect to have that status soon. As a professional organization, we are able to do many of the activities not allowed by the nonprofit associations.
We were very involved with the recent passage of the Denver Public Schools mil-levy to hire new music and art teachers. We are presenting two advocacy sessions at the January Clinic/Conference of Colorado Music Educators Association. As our membership grows, we will become even more vocal and more involved. If you need our assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us. We should have a web site soon. Below is a list of current members. We have three levels: Industry ($50.00), Association ($30.00) and Individual ($20.00).
