Invitation to the Canadian New Music Network’s 2025 Annual General Meeting and Board elections

We look for­ward to see­ing you on Tues­day, Octo­ber 7, 2025, at noon EDT, for CNM­N’s Annu­al Gen­er­al Meet­ing. The Gen­er­al Meet­ing will be an oppor­tu­ni­ty to present the 2024–2025 annu­al report, and to vote in new mem­bers for the Board of Direc­tors for the 2025–2027 mandate.


Please make sure your 2025 mem­ber­ship dues are paid if you would like to vote, and remem­ber that mem­ber­ship fees are PWYC.


The Cana­di­an New Music Net­work invites You to help shape our future! We are look­ing for nom­i­na­tions to our Board of Direc­tors. You can nom­i­nate your­self, or anoth­er indi­vid­ual. Elect­ed by CNMN mem­bers at our AGM in the Fall of 2025, Board mem­bers serve two-year terms which are renew­able. Please sub­mit your CNMN Board nom­i­na­tion form by Sep­tem­ber 30, 2025.


As a Board mem­ber you will play an active role in shap­ing and mov­ing for­ward this impor­tant part of the Cana­di­an music and sound art scene. We would be par­tic­u­lar­ly inter­est­ed in:

  • Nom­i­na­tions from Atlantic Provinces
  • Peo­ple with expe­ri­ence in finance, pub­lic rela­tions, and gov­er­nance (desir­able but not required)

The Board meets reg­u­lar­ly and works close­ly, this year devel­op­ing some excit­ing new ini­tia­tives. Expec­ta­tions of your time would be 3–4 hours a month, includ­ing meet­ings, and group or indi­vid­ual tasks. We invite you to join us with your ener­gy and ideas, as we con­tin­ue our nation­al web of arts professionals.

On Thurs­day, Sep­tem­ber 25, from 3:30 to 5pm (EDT), join the Lau­ri­er Cen­tre for Music in the Com­mu­ni­ty and the Cana­di­an New Music Net­work for a vir­tu­al pro­fes­sion­al devel­op­ment ses­sion for par­tic­i­pa­to­ry music prac­ti­tion­ers, fea­tur­ing two Cana­di­an musi­cians who ini­ti­at­ed par­tic­i­pa­to­ry music projects that have thrived over years.

This free talk is part of the Pro­fes­sion­al Devel­op­ment Series: Grow your career in Par­tic­i­pa­to­ry Music. Oth­er top­ics for the year will focus on grow­ing a port­fo­lio career, engag­ing in out­reach, part­ner­ship build­ing, and how to eval­u­ate impact.
