Boycott could threaten East Coast Music Awards future

globalnews.ca

The chair of the East Coast Music Awards, Michelle Eagles, warns that a boycott over leadership changes and transparency issues could threaten the event's future. The organization is facing internal conflict following the ousting of CEO Blanche Israel in January. Eagles acknowledged that some artists have withdrawn their nominations in protest, citing a lack of clarity in the organization's direction. As of now, six out of about 250 nominees have pulled out, raising concerns among members. The ECMA board plans to meet next week to address these issues and improve communication with members. The East Coast Music Awards are set to take place on May 8 in St. John's, N.L.
