CONTACT THE OFFICERS
The West Michigan Bluegrass Music Association is run by a dedicated board of directors and elected officers. It is our wish that you as a member will become as involved as possible in the association, and to that end we hope to hear from you.
Our president, vice-president, treasurer, and secretary are all easily reached via email or telephone. All of the contact information is listed on our
contact us page.
The general public is always welcome at all of The West Michigan Bluegrass Music Association events. Some events are free, some have a small fee to them, but all events are family friendly and good clean fun. Are you a picker or singer? Bring your voice or your instrument along! We like to jam and to have fun for sure.
Would you care to get involved? The W.M.B.M.A. board of directors and elected officers care about and are passionate about the association. We put in a lot
of effort to try and improve the association, as well as propel it forward. However, we can only do so much, and we rely heavily on the volunteer efforts of our
members and fans. Your help is appreciated and needed! Perhaps the biggest area of help that we need is with our two big bluegrass festivals that we throw each
year. If you'd like to find out where you can best assist us, please click on the contact us link in the menu above.
