LEVel Up

The Academy launches LEVel Up: Lifting Every Voice to expand the horizons of Country Music. This program for Rising Leaders in Country Music is a two-year professional development and enrichment curriculum designed to empower participants to play a pivotal role in expanding the horizons of Country Music into new audiences that transcend demographics and geography. The inaugural class of ten individuals represents a group of diverse and talented leaders in the industry, selected by nominations received as well as self-submitted applications. The program’s first year is spent learning as well as collaborating to develop a proposed plan to expand Country Music’s reach into new and underrepresented audience segments; the second, implementing said plan. The program is funded wholly by the Academy of Country Music at no cost to participants.
