AMA Committees
The AMA’s committees are designed to provide ideas, best practices and lessons learned to help the entire industry rise to the challenges of our times. We encourage members to sign up and participate.
If you would like to spearhead a committee that isn't listed below, please reach out to Jenn at info@artistmanagementassociation.org

The Legislative Committee, led by Director of Business Affairs Erica Chadwick (ETC Creative), identifies key areas where industry advocacy is needed and develops strategies to address them. This work combines internal discussions to understand member priorities with external collaboration alongside lobbyists, legal experts, advisors, and government officials to drive meaningful change. Current areas of focus include tax exemption status, state and local incentive programs, and emerging AI legislation.

The Partnership & Membership Committee, led by Partnership Director Dean Snyder (Print&Contact), plays a vital role in expanding and supporting our community. Through active outreach, member surveys, and collaboration with other committees, this committee works to identify needs and opportunities that drive growth.
Since membership and partnerships are the sole source of funding for AMA, this committee is essential to the continued success and sustainability of the organization.
