Throughout our almost-60 year history, the Academy of Country Music has always proudly stood as a progressive, welcoming organization for all, most recently through our active commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Indeed, the official mission statement of our DEI Task Force reads, “The Academy of Country Music is relentlessly committed to creating a more inclusive environment for underrepresented groups, encompassing but not limited to, Black, Indigenous, LGBTQIA+, LatinX and Women in the Country Music industry, from the boardroom to the stage.”

We truly take that to heart and aim to keep it top-of-mind in everything we do, particularly in terms of recruitment, employment, and staff retention. 

The Academy of Country Music provides equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants for employment and prohibits discrimination and harassment of any type without regard to race, color, religion, age, sex, national origin, disability status, genetics, protected veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other characteristic protected by federal, state, or local laws.

This policy applies to all terms and conditions of employment, including recruiting, hiring, placement, promotion, termination, layoff, recall, transfer, leaves of absence, compensation, and training.
