Without Membership, the Recording Academy couldn't exist — and every new class helps engender a stronger, vibrant and more diverse music community.
This year's new member class provides a crucial opportunity to connect with, welcome, and engage active creators in meaningful ways that deepens their relationship with the Academy and our mission.
In celebration of the new class, the Academy is proud to present New Member Welcome Week, which provides platforms for members to tell their unique stories and learn how membership is imperative to drive change at the Academy — and the music industry at large.
Here is a rundown of New Member Welcome Week events — whichever one(s) you can make it to, we'll see you there!
