Interim Executive Director Paul Schiminger also shared a word of gratitude for outgoing Chair, Mike Simpson.
“On behalf of the association, I want to personally thank Mike Simpson for his dedicated board service over two 3-year terms. His exceptional leadership as IBMA Board Chair for the past two years has been a boon to the board and entire organization. Anyone who has worked with Mike knows his passion for the bluegrass music community, and how valuable his wealth of board and business experience has been for the IBMA.”
