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.
