The first Sound Girls NAMM Mentoring Session strikes a similar vein: On January 19, between 6:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m., Karrie Keyes of SoundGirls.org and Heather Rafter of RafterMarsh will host this session that will also include Dawn Birr among many other prominent women industry leaders.
According to Birr, events such as these serve to influence future generations of women in the music industry: By participating and engaging in awards ceremonies and panels, we hope to encourage women to pursue their career ambitions in the music industry. There are many ways we can drive our industry forward into the next generation, and it is important for us to take advantage of opportunities such as these to educate and engage. If we can inspire even a handful of young women, and help them find the tools they need to succeed in this industry, we will have succeeded.
