Arts sector hit by artist visa price increases - June update |
|
|
| |

Email Communication for Making Music Reps |
|
|
| |
From September 2007 we want to hold valid email addresses for every Making Music Representative.
We believe it will be beneficial both to our members and to the operation of Making Music to have the ability to communicate with all MM Reps by email in addition to, and in some cases instead of, postal mailings. |
