Canadian Gospel Music Association Announces Name Change

TORONTO, ONTARIO: The Canadian Gospel Music Association (CGMA) is excited to announce that they have formalized their partnership with the Gospel Music Association based out of Nashville, Tennessee and have officially changed their name to Gospel Music Association Canada (GMA Canada).

Being associated with the GMA will provide our membership with access to more resources and international creditability,” stated CGMA President Gary Dix. At that time, the CGMA and the Gospel Music Association’s (GMA Canada) branch merged under the banner of the CGMA. For 42 years, the Gospel Music Association has committed itself to it’s over 4,000 members. It is dedicated to exposing, promoting and celebrating the Gospel through music.

The GMA’s annual Gospel Music Week in April saw the first international chapter meeting. The GMA was represented by President John Styll, Eric Nordhoff of Go Global Distribution and Gabe Aviles. Besides GMA Canada, participants included GMA Asia, GMA Australia/New Zealand and GMA Japan. GMA Canada’s Vice-President, Martin Smith was the first to present and he gave an overview of what the CGMA has been doing in Canada.
