The MLC Seeks Songwriter Nominations to Serve on Board, Advisory Committees | Mechanical Licensing Collective

The MLC welcomes interested parties to nominate songwriter candidates to serve on its Board of Directors, Unclaimed Royalties Oversight Committee or Dispute Resolution Committee when seats become available.

Candidates for the Unclaimed Royalties Oversight Committee and Dispute Resolution Committee must be professional songwriters. The Unclaimed Royalties Oversight Committee recommends to the Board policies and procedures related to the distribution of unclaimed accrued royalties. The Dispute Resolution Committee recommends to the Board policies and procedures for the processing of royalties related to works that are subject to disputes over ownership. 

Candidates for the Board of Directors must be professional songwriters who retain and license mechanical rights for songs they have written.

Both the Board of Directors and Advisory Committees meet regularly, and all meetings allow for virtual participation such that travel is not generally required. Members are expected to devote sufficient time to prepare for and particulate fully in all meetings. 

To nominate someone for consideration, please click here to complete the nomination form.
