Anaheim, CA, January 29, 2013—At its Annual Meeting of Members, held January 27 during the 2013 NAMM Show, the NAMM Board of Directors bid farewell to departing members and welcomed eight new faces to a three-year term. The NAMM Board of Directors provides guidance and leadership to the National Association of Music Merchants and the music instrument and product industry.
In welcoming the new members, Chairman Kevin Cranley expressed his faith in their collective expertise and dedication, and noted the accomplishments of their predecessors. “Almost two years ago, the Board sat down and totally rewrote NAMM’s Vision, Mission and Objectives. In doing so, they brought their personal tenets and their professional experience to the table and applied it to NAMM, further defining and enriching our association for generations of Members to come,” he said. “I have complete confidence in the ability of our newest members to further elevate our Board, and by extension our organization, and to provide our Members with every opportunity for success in the coming years.”
The following NAMM Members were elected for service from 2013 to 2015:
Gayle Beacock, Beacock Music Company John D’Addario III, D’Addario & Company Jim DeStafney, Blues Angel Music Jessica Freehling-Kazzie, Art’s Music Shop Rob Joseph, MusicMax Ben Kraft, Kraft Music Ron Manus, Alfred Publishing Company Andy Zildjian, Sabian

From Sunburst Indian River Citrus...
We have been working with schools and groups mainly in the Southeast since 1984. Many of our customers have been relying on our timely
shipments of quality Indian River citrus for over 20 years. We introduced strawberries in February last year and they were an overwhelming success. Because their customers loved the strawberries, they are really excited about this year’s sale. The
peaches we delivered in July and early August also did very well.
Our Citrus comes from a family that has been growing and packing Indian River Citrus since 1946. The Strawberries come from a family- owned farm that does not typically sell to super markets. The peaches come from the oldest continuously operated farm in the Southeast.
New this year, we have introduced on-line ordering. We are really excited about being able to provide quality products that people want to buy year after year.
We are very grateful to the many Alabamians that have worked with this transplanted Floridian over the last 30 plus years. JB
From the University of South Alabama...
