NRB has released this year’s list of members and chairs for NRB’s Standing Committees – several of whom were nominated and elected for the first time during the NRB 2020 Christian Media Convention held February 25-28 in Nashville, Tennessee.
Established to advance the overall mission of NRB, Standing Committees serve the unique interests of specific constituencies within the NRB family – namely, Church Media, Digital Media, Film, Intercollegiate (iNRB), International, Music License, Radio, and Television.
Among the ways Standing Committees render valuable and helpful assistance to the NRB are:
- developing educational and training opportunities made available through NRB Conventions and other venues;
- identifying and developing specific member benefits that will strengthen NRB members’ ability to fulfill their ministry’s purpose;
- evaluating industry developments, trends, and technologies that may impact NRB members’ ability to fulfill their mission; and
- providing relevant news and information for inclusion in NRB communication devices to keep NRB members informed on important matters.
In addition, all Standing Committee chairs not already on the Board of Directors serve as ex-officio members of the Board.
