At this meeting, board members will present a brief overview of the history of the MMC as well as our current vision of its future that we hope you will join in to help us shape!  At this time, the board is also seeking those interested in becoming a board member—helping us plan, implement and shape the MMC’s future and our role in Madison’s music culture.  Voting on new board member positions will take place at our Annual Meeting on Sun.

Current initiatives being discussed are:

—Restarting our successful “Jazz on a Sunday” series

—“Bridges” initiative to promote reciprocal bookings and outreach for our local jazz musicians in other regions

—MMC-JAZZ record label for local jazz artists to help them promote themselves and reach bigger audiences

—Exploring new and innovative fundraising models to continue to lower our dependence on dwindling state and federal art grants
