Membership FAQ

GENERAL QUESTIONS
What benefits are included in my membership?

Benefits vary by membership level and may include Dove Awards tickets, VIP experiences, marketing and recognition opportunities, discounts, exclusive content, educational resources, and networking opportunities. Please click HERE to view the full benefits chart.



Can I switch my membership level?

Absolutely. If your current membership level no longer fits your organization’s needs, you may upgrade or downgrade your membership at any time. Any remaining value from your current membership will be credited toward your new membership package.



Will I still receive access to educational resources?

Educational resources remain an important part of membership benefits and continue to be available based on your membership level.





 

Do you offer installment plans for Organizational Memberships?

Please contact our membership team to discuss available payment options and determine what may best fit your organization’s needs.

 

Can you explain the benefits of upgrading to the Diamond tier if I am already a Platinum Member?

The Diamond tier offers expanded visibility, enhanced marketing opportunities, additional networking access, premium event experiences, and increased recognition benefits beyond the Platinum level. Please review our membership comparison chart here.

 

CHOOSING THE RIGHT MEMBERSHIP
How do I know which membership level is best for me?

 We created a membership comparison chart to help organizations determine which option best fits their needs. You may view the chart here or contact our membership team for personalized assistance. 

What happens if I do not want to renew at the new rate?

 We understand every organization’s needs are different. If the updated structure no longer aligns with your goals, you may explore another membership level or contact our team to discuss available options. 

Who can I contact if I have questions or need assistance?

Our membership team is happy to assist with any questions at monica@gospelmusic.org. You may also visit our membership page for additional information and resources.



What should I do if I want to add more people to my current roster?

Please contact our membership team to update your roster. We will process the additions and provide an invoice based on the current membership rates.



ORGANIZATIONAL MEMBERSHIP QUESTIONS
Why should I choose Organizational Membership over Individual Membership?

Organizational Membership is designed for companies that want to enroll multiple employees as members while also gaining additional marketing, networking, and recognition opportunities beyond those offered through Individual Membership. 

I have more employees than my Organizational Membership package includes. How can they also become members?

 Additional employees may be added beyond your package allowance at the standard rate of $130 per person annually. For example, if your Platinum Membership includes five employees but you would like to enroll eight, you would simply add three additional memberships at $130 each. 

Can I upgrade or downgrade my membership at any time, or must I wait until my renewal date?

Membership changes may be made at any time. The remaining value of your current membership will be credited toward your new membership package. 

There are so many great benefits. What is the best way to get started?

We recommend two important first steps after joining:

1. Provide the name, email address, and position of each employee you would like enrolled so they can receive GMA communications and access their member benefits.

2. Send us your company logo and website URL so we can include your organization in member recognition opportunities across our website and publications.



I’m especially interested in the advertising perks included with Organizational Membership. How does that work?

Organizational Members receive access to complimentary and discounted advertising opportunities. Banner advertisements are exclusively available to Organizational Members and event sponsors. After joining, your primary contact will receive advertising guidelines and instructions. To begin:

1. Request available dates on the advertising calendar.

2. Submit your artwork and URL according to the provided specifications.



I see several invitation-only events included in the membership benefits. How do I receive details about those events?

Invitations for exclusive events such as the President’s Reception, Advocacy Brunch, New Artist Showcase, GRAMMY Reception, and Topgolf event are sent directly to your primary contact via email. Each invitation will include registration instructions to redeem your benefits. Please note that event tickets are not automatically reserved and registration is required for each event.

 

How do I redeem the marketing exposure opportunities listed in my membership benefits?

Marketing opportunities include:

• Feature Profile Q&A: An interview-style article developed from responses provided by your executive and published on the news section of our website for two weeks.

• About Our Member Feature: A company profile template highlighting key information about your organization that you will return to us. This will be shared on GMA’s Facebook and LinkedIn platforms.

Please refer to the advertising guidelines for complete redemption instructions. Click HERE.

When can I start purchasing tickets in the GMA Block for the GMA Dove Awards in October?
