A key component of The Recording Academy, the Producers & Engineers Wing was established to serve our recording community's creative and technical professionals in a focused manner.

Our Academy represents thousands of music people across the country, many of whom were directly affected by the New Orleans tragedy. Music's Biggest Night wouldn't be complete if we didn't take this unique opportunity to pay homage to a region with such rich musical history and culture. New Orleans, we'll always be there for you.

This year's nominations truly reflect a dynamic and vibrant community of music makers that includes artists, producers, engineers, songwriters and everyone involved in the creative process.

As we strive to grow and develop its programs and services, Maureen's vast knowledge and expertise will further strengthen and expand the P&E Wing's initiatives as we move forward with our Academy's plans for the future.

[Theresa's] diverse background and experience make her uniquely suited to fit the needs of our members as we continue to provide the finest programs and services for our existing members, and reach out to new music communities across Texas.

We are delighted to team up with EA as a leader in interactive entertainment to provide students with the tools and instruction to create video game music and sound design, ... With a variety of career choices in the music business, we are committed to exposing students to every available opportunity in order to help them achieve their professional dreams.

Ratings are a fact of life. We're in this for the long haul. And we have a phenomenal evening of great music that you can't get anywhere else.
