Under the Music Modernization Act (MMA), certain governance positions within the MLC are reserved for representatives of Publishers. The terms of several Publisher seats on the Board and the organization’s advisory committees are slated to end later this year.
Elections to determine who will fill the open Board seats will be held this summer. Board and committee members sit for three-year terms and may be re-elected. Seats are filled according to the MLC’s Bylaws. Currently, there are two openings on the Board of Directors for two Publisher representatives. Under said Bylaws, a ‘Publisher’ means a music publisher to which songwriters have assigned exclusive rights of reproduction and distribution of musical works with respect to covered activities.
The MLC’s Board of Directors and advisory committees meet regularly, and all meetings allow for virtual participation such that travel is not generally required. Members are expected to devote sufficient time to prepare for and participate fully in all meetings. More information on the MLC’s Board of Directors and its advisory committees can be found here.
Suggestions for these seats should be made no later than May 22. To suggest a candidate for a Publisher representative seat, complete the suggestion form available here.
