NEJA Elects New Officers
Friday May 15, 2009
In its recent Spring 2009 meeting, the New England Jazz Alliance Board of Directors elected new officers as follow: Edward Bride, President; Ted Belastock, Vice President; and Barbara Bishop, Secretary/Treasurer.
Ed Bride, who resides in Pittsfield, MA, succeeds Ron Gill as NEJA President. Gill served admirably in this capacity for the past three years and the NEJA Board of Directors thanks him for his service.
Bride has been a jazz aficionado since his teens, and has for years promoted both well-known and obscure big bands as well as other mainstream groups. He is a member of several non-profit boards that advocate for jazz education including American Jazz Venues, Berkshire Jazz, Inc., and the New England Jazz Ensemble. Bride is the founder and chairman of the Pittsfield City Jazz Festival and is a founding member of the NEJA Board, having previously served as its Secretary.
