This year’s Gospel Summit, organised by GreenTree, will focus on achieving two ground breaking objectives:

1. Setting up of an Industry Interim Council.

2. Pre notification of posts due to be advertised for PRESIDENT, CHAIRPERSON and CEO of the GMIA .

3. The ratification of a new UK Promoters Code of Practice and Registration System

The action follows last year’s event which saw key artists, promoters and other industry professionals engaging together in first time discussions with senior public sector representatives including the Arts Council and Cultural Olympiad London 2012. Artists and producers Noel Robinson, Nicky Brown, Tony Bean and social entrepreneur Dr Tani Omideyi numbered amongst those who also voted GreenTree to lead on the creation and development of a national strategy.

“Having taken up the challenge, it’s been a tough year”, stated Juliet Fletcher, GreenTree CEO. “We have to remind everyone that it is a united effort. That’s why we need to set up this Interim Council and also begin to put some other measures in place that starts the changes we need to see” .
