On February 8, 2007, a historic event in Gospel Music took place at the Homeland Offices in Nashville, TN when the "Alliance For Building Careers" held the first meeting of its Founding and Charter Members. The Alliance, also known as "Team ABC" is made up of Industry leaders who have joined forces to offer instruction, guidance, encouragement, and motivation to artists by providing a team with the highest standard of integrity. One of the members present at the meeting was quoted as saying, "Our industry is over-run with charlatans who have been taking advantage of our artists and the time has arrived for someone to take action." Fueled by a desire to protect the industry from unscrupulous practices and offer honest career advice and direction, "Team ABC" has adopted Proverbs 11:14 as it's credo: "Where there is no counsel, the people fall; but in the multitude of counselors there is safety." (NKJV)

Each member of "Team ABC" has a unique area of expert advice they are willing to offer to artists and industry professionals. The Charter Members, all present at the meeting, are:

I agree with all this. But this help usually comes with a big price tag which most of the targeted
goups don't have.

An honest reply with a real name and email will be replied to, but not an anonymous one where the details cannot be verified.
