The Winds of Change - New York Steelband Association set to Alter Course

Vote of No Confidence delivered by majority

New York - With only a week into the 2010 season the winds of change have propelled themselves into the consciousness of the steelpan music world. When Steel Talks News has been informed that on December 8th, 2009 a majority of the United States Steelband Association (USSA) membership passed a vote of no confidence on the Board of Director and Executive Officers of USSA.

An interim committee is presently in place and a date for elections has been set for mid-January 2010, to be followed by the installation of new officers.

USSA operates primarily out of New York city and has been the representative organization for the New York steel orchestras participating in the steelband music panorama contests for the past decade.

That administration was lead by Anthony “Ike” Hinds.
