In an ongoing effort to increase MTNA's visibility, the association exhibited at the 2002 winter show of the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM). The show was held in Anaheim, California.

This is the third year MTNA has occupied a booth at NAMM. In attendance were MTNA Executive Director Dr. Gary L. Ingle and MTNA Director of Communications Marcie Gerrietts Lindsey.

While exhibiting at the show, MTNA worked to establish a greater presence in the music industry by distributing information about the association, promoting individual memberships, MTNA corporate membership and the MTNA certification program, and educating attendees about MTNA's vital role in the music world.

"Attending the 2002 winter NAMM show provided a beneficial opportunity for MTNA to meet with other associations and corporations in the music industry to exchange ideas and to establish new friendships," says Ingle.

Music professionals from around the world attended the show, including retail music store buyers, manufacturers, manufacturers' representatives, distributors and publishers of the music products industry and teachers.
