Now is the right time to become an American Federation of Musicians member. From
ragtime to rap, from the early phonograph to today's digital recordings, the AFM
has been there for its members. And now there are more benefits available to AFM
members than ever before, including a multi-million dollar pension fund,
excellent contract protection, instrument and travelers insurance, work referral
programs and access to licensed booking agents to keep you working.

As an AFM member, you are part of a membership of more than 80,000 musicians.
Experience has proven that collective activity on behalf of individuals with
similar interests is the most effective way to achieve a goal. The AFM can
negotiate agreements and administer contracts, procure valuable benefits and
achieve legislative goals. A single musician has no such power.

The AFM has a proud history of managing change rather than being victimized by
it. We find strength in adversity, and when the going gets tough, we get
creative - all on your behalf.

Like the industry, the AFM is also changing and evolving, and its policies and
programs will move in new directions dictated by its members. As a member, you
will determine these directions through your interest and involvement. Your
membership card will be your key to participation in governing your union,
keeping it responsive to your needs and enabling it to serve you better. To
become a member now, visit www.afm.org/join.

APPROPRIATIONS VS. PORK – WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE AND WHY IT MATTERS

October 1, 2024

into the […]

PROTECTING THE RIGHT TO ORGANIZE MEANS BETTER WORKING CONDITIONS FOR EVERYONE

October 1, 2024

In 1998, I was a newly elected secretary-treasurer of AFM Local 105 (Spokane,

musicians face in our work. I also clearly remember the sparkle of mischief and
challenge in his light […]

from Back to the Future movies are here. Those are […]

THE FOUNDATION OF ADVOCACY IS RELATIONSHIP BUILDING

October 1, 2024

It is my pleasure writing this column on my first official day as AFM director
of government affairs. I am thrilled to serve under the leadership of AFM
President Tino Gagliardi. I believe that lobbying is, at its best, good
storytelling. While advocating for the AFM’s interests before lawmakers and
government officials, I will be […]
