According to Bishop Sam Williams, Executive Vice Chair of the GAG and GMWA Board Member, the GAG has fourteen affiliates and helps gospel announcers become better broadcasters. He encourages a cross section of professionals seeking to enhance their careers in the gospel music industry to join. Williams said, “We are primarily a broadcast trade organization. So we would encourage those involved in broadcasting, from radio station ownership, to programmers to brokers (announcers who pay for their on air time)…record labels…print…digital…and Internet radio to join.”
Membership to the Gospel Announcers Guild is open to professionals who work in the gospel music industry in radio, records, media, or as recording artists.
