The Gospel Music Workshop Of America (GMWA) is one of the largest international gospel music conventions in the world. GMWA was founded by the late Rev.

Following the recent death of the much loved and respected National Gospel Announcers Guild Chairman, Al “:The Bishop” HobbsBishop Albert Jamison and the Board of Directors of the GMWA announce the appointment of a new GAG administration and leadership team.  The newly appointed officers, along with the GAG Committee, will oversee the operation of the National Gospel Announcers Guild.  Dennis Cole (Chicago, IL) has been Committee Leader and Chris Squire (Philadelphia, PA) appointed Assistant Committee Leader.

“Proverbs 18 says that your gifts will make room for you. This committee is full of gifted industry professionals who are strongly committed to the success of the National GAG,” expresses Bishop Albert Jamison, GMWA Chairman.  “It is now even more equipped to do so with the forward thinking leaderships of the GMWA Board approved Committee Leader  and Assistant Committee Leader.”

Dennis Cole and Chris Squire are both excited about their new positions and foresee an opportunity to expand the established standards previously set by a great predecessor, Al “The Bishop” Hobbs.  “We are beginning our work immediately with a team focus on goals that will benefit the whole organization without waiting for reward,” Cole shares.  “Chris and I will be purposeful servant leaders who will bring skilled, professional and relevant individuals to the GAG delegates to focus on their self-improvement and demonstrate to the GAG delegates their potential and capacity to grow under ever changing industry circumstances.”
