NASHVILLE – On Thursday, July 14 2011, the Christian Music Broadcasters (CMB) board of directors accepted the resignation of its Executive Director, Linda Meyers, effective immediately. For nearly a decade, Linda was instrumental in facilitating the growth of CMB and its membership. CMB extends its heartfelt thanks and God’s richest blessings for Linda as she pursues a full time oppportunity with AMG Media, Inc.
CMB’s premiere annual event, Momentum, is growing with CMB’s recent hire of Michelle Younkman as CMB’s Event Coordinator for Momentum 2011. Respect and good rapport for Michelle precedes her, having worked the past two decades for two of Christian music industry’s leading record labels and currently as an independent marketing and promotions consultant to ministries and stations alike.
Michelle and the board are joined by a volunteer team comprised of Jason Sharp of KTIS-FM (educational programming), Tom Lewis of Lewis & Associates and Grant Hubbard of EMI/CMG (sponsorships) and Morgan Wood of KTIS-FM and Beth Bacall of The Fish in Atlanta (marketing). More than a dozen other people are involved with assisting the efforts of Momentum’s success for 2011.
“Momentum is in good hands,” says Mike Novak, chair of CMB’s Board of Directors. Registration for this year’s event is well over 350 attendees. Author/speaker Gabe Lyons (author of UnChristian) and award-winning author/pastor Jeff Manion (The Land Between) headline the three and a half day event beginning, September 7-10 at Disney’s Yacht Club in Orlando.
Registration will be capped at 500 with room reservation discounts available through August 4. More details on Momentum will be forthcoming before the end of the month. To register, visit www.cmbonline.org or call Michelle Younkman at 214.738.6135.
“As for the future of CMB, the board is actively involved in energizing its renewed mission and vision,” says Novak. “The board met with some of its members in Charlotte just two months ago and laid out the initial groundwork for CMB’s growth in service to its members. Our future is bright and brimming with hope for others, thanks to the renewed passion of so many people who believe in what God can and will do through CMB.”
CMB was created for the purpose of reaching and engaging people through Christian music broadcasting to ensure that its influence and excellence is second to none.
