------As
the GRAMMY Awards celebrate the 44th annual
ceremony, the Recording Academy continues its rich
legacy and ongoing growth as the premier outlet for
honoring achievements in the recording arts and
supporting the music community.
------In
1957, a visionary group of music professionals and
label executives in Los Angeles recognized the need
to create an organization that would represent the
creative people in the recording arts and
sciences.
------The
founding members of the Recording Academy wanted to
recognize and celebrate the artistic achievement of
not only talented musicians and singers but also
important, behind-the-scenes contributors such as
producers and engineers.
------Conceived
as a way to create a real recording industry
community and address some of these concerns, the
Recording Academy was born and the GRAMMY Awards
process began.
The GRAMMYs are the
only peer-presented award to honor artistic
achievement, technical proficiency and overall
excellence in the recording industry, without
regard to album sales or chart position. On
February 27, 2002, more than 1.7 billion people in
more than 175 countries will celebrate the best the
worldwide music community has to offer. Grant Program

02As we continue our journey into the bold
future of the 21st century, the Recording Academy
looks forward to the new opportunities of a growing
organization. Over the last decade particularly,
the Academy has expanded its goals from the
important work of recognizing the best in music
through the GRAMMY Awards to establishing itself as
the preeminent arts advocacy and outreach
organization in the country. The Academy's mission
statement is simple, but represents the heart and
soul of the organization's efforts: to positively
impact the lives of musicians, industry members and
our society at large. Looking forward, the Academy
has launched such towering new initiatives as the
Latin Recording Academy and the Latin GRAMMY
Awards
------In
order to accomplish this mission, the Recording
Academy has developed a unique network of field
offices across the country to provide industry
service and program development, maintaining 12
fully staffed Academy regional offices to serve the
more than 20,000 members and ensure a truly
national scope to Academy endeavors. New York
(1958), Chicago (1961), Nashville (1964), Atlanta
(1969), Memphis (1972), San Francisco (1974),
Austin (1998), Philadelphia (1999), Florida (2000)
and Washington, D.C. (2000) followed the first
chapter, established in Los Angeles in 1957. An
active branch in Seattle, which represents the
Pacific Northwest, joins the chapters to provide
services and programs to the growing membership.
The Academy has also launched the Producers &
Engineers Wing (the first of several planned wings)
and an ambitious program of regional outreach, both
aimed at serving members along professional and
geographic lines.
------The
GRAMMY Awards themselves have grown right along
with the organization that presents them. Initially
a series of taped network TV specials entitled "The
Best On Record," the GRAMMYs are now a
state-of-the-art live extravaganza and the premier
music awards show on television. Nearly every major
recording artist has made an appearance on the
telecast.
------In
addition to the GRAMMY Award, the Recording Academy
presents several other awards to honor important
music and music professionals. The Lifetime
Achievement Award, established in 1965, celebrates
performers and others music professionals who have
made outstanding contributions to recording in
their lifetimes. The Trustees Award followed in
1967, recognizing primarily non-performing
contributors whose scope did not fall within the
GRAMMY Awards categories. And the Recording
Academy's GRAMMY Hall of Fame was established in
1973 to commemorate recordings, at least 25 years
old, of lasting qualitative or historical
significance. Part
03
/ For many years now, the Recording Academy
has gone well beyond the joyful celebration of
music, however. The Academy has been at the
forefront of critical issues affecting both the
musical community and the general population, such
as labeling legislation, protection of intellectual
property rights, home taping, record piracy,
archive and preservation issues, artistic exchange
programs and censorship concerns. The Academy has
taken a leading role in advocating for artists on
such issues as work for hire legislation, digital
music downloading litigation and the ongoing debate
over California Labor Code Section 2855 (the
so-called seven-year statue), all of which impact
every working recording artist, songwriter,
producer and engineer.
------The
Recording Academy is also a co-founder of the
National Coalition for Music Education, an advocacy
group of music educators and professionals who
promote the value of music education, as well as
the influence of music and the other arts on child
development on a national, state and local level,
and the Academy is a champion for the powerful
healing influence of music therapy and its
importance as a medical
treatment.
------As
the "parent organization" of the charitable
MusiCares Foundation and the GRAMMY Foundation, the
Academy works to protect and support music people
in crisis, and provide young people with "real
world" exposure to music and the music
industry
------The
Academy can be proud of its accomplishments on
behalf of its constituency. Through the efforts of
the volunteer leadership and the capable
professional staff, the music community, music
lovers and inheritors of America's great
cultural
legacy are reaping the benefit. 4.Are
