Fundamental to how the
Recording Academy works, though it hasn't been sufficiently emphasized in most coverage of
Grammyland, is that the Board of Trustees runs things. A chief executive serves at the pleasure of the Board. Some might call them a shadow government, accountable to no one. Others might say that's a bit dramatic.
So, who's on the this Board? It's the four trustee officers and 40 trustees who come from the 12 individual chapters, which elect them; each chapter has at least two members on the Board. The total number of trustees from a chapter depends on its total voting members. The L.A. chapter, for example, has seven members; New York has six; and Nashville five. Trustees serve two-year terms. The four trustee officers, who govern the Board, are elected by the Board and can serve up to two consecutive two-year terms.
Now, meet your trustee officers and trustees. For more on Grammy governance,
