\n\n\tJoel Flatow<\/strong> announced he is stepping down from his role as senior vp of artist and industry relations and chief of west coast operations at the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) to launch Flatow Strategies, LLC.<\/p>\n\n\t\u201cJoel\u2019s contributions to RIAA and the music community are extraordinary,\u201d RIAA chairman and CEO Mitch Glazier<\/strong> said in a statement. \u201cFor more than three decades, he has helped bring people together, often in moments when trust, judgement and relationships made all the difference. Joel was a cornerstone of our artist relations work, having opened and established our West Coast presence, strengthened coalitions across the creative community and helped ensure that artists and music had a meaningful voice in consequential policy debates. He has been a colleague, counselor and friend to so many of us. I know his next chapter will reflect the same generosity, creativity and deep commitment that have already defined his career.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\tFlatow Strategies will help organizations, leaders and coalitions with policy, culture, technology and public impact. The company will continue to represent and advocate for RIAA and its members, and additional clients include The Luckman Fine Arts Complex at Cal State LA, The Creative Coalition, The Schramm Group, Center of Gravity Productions and Whitenoise Music Group.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cRIAA has been my professional home for so many years through such seismic change in the industry, and I am profoundly grateful to everyone who has shaped that experience,\u201d Flatow said in a statement. \u201cMy work has aways been about building trust and understanding and finding a way forward to support artists and their teams. Flatow Strategies will carry that work forward with organizations and leaders facing moments where policy, culture and technology are rapidly evolving.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\tPrior to joining RIAA in 1995, Flatow served as legislative director of the congressional arts caucus.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n
