chapter intro
The Recording Academy - Chicago Chapter
The Chicago Chapter, established in 1961, was the third Recording Academy Chapter to be initiated. At the time, Recording Academy National President Bob York looked to Chicago and Nashville to carry some of the increasing responsibilities of the Academy between the coastal offices of New York and Los Angeles. Chicago was chosen because it was one of the biggest recording centers of the time.
The Recording Academy - Atlanta Chapter
In 1967, members of the Nashville Chapter of the Recording Academy approached prominent members of the Atlanta music community about becoming members of their Chapter.
The Recording Academy - Memphis Chapter
The Memphis Chapter celebrated its 35th anniversary in 2008 and continued to expand its programs and community service to members across the region stretching from Memphis and the Mid-South throughout Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas and Missouri.
