Detroit Metro Area Musicians & Entertainers Association
"Artists working together to improve the quality of life"
History
1985, was the year DMAMEA was formed by our President, Leslie Ferguson and Annie Eckman. Starting with the first picnic, the concept was welcomed by all. Everyone knew there was a need for this association and wanted to be a part of it.
Through the years,
members came and went, but our founders stood strong with their commitment to
support artist. Many, benefits, fundraisers and funerals alike took place before
the need really grabbed hold of its benefactors and moved them to be a devoted
and vested member.
Our President & CEO
kept the commitment and awaited the support of others.
It was 2005 before
DMAMEA was officially formed by Leslie Ferguson, Gwen Foxx, Jackie
Gilliard, Thornetta Davis, Adrianne Reynolds and yes, Annie Eckman. These
wonderful ladies have worked hard to bring DMAMEA where it is today. They are
all well established in the business and bring with them a talent that demands
the attention of all within an ears distance.
Today, DMAMEA has a
strong membership and has much to offer its members. From Youth Mentorship,
Bereavement Assistance to Health Benefits to mere moral support, they are there
for one another.
