Internal Governance

Working to maximize the benefits of collective action

In order to benefit from all that collective organization can offer, your players’ association needs to develop a clearly defined internal governance culture.

As such, the Internal Governance And Modernization Project, IGAMP for short, is a unique program based on the bedrock principles of successful collective representation. It fosters a system of sustainable representation that produces musicians who are empowered with the authority to accurately represent their colleagues, interact with their local union office and players’ conference, as well as facilitate the best possible working relationship with managers and board members.

The IGAMP process results in a series of easy-to-use materials designed to facilitate the program’s goals. Additional details can be found at the Clients & Projects page.
