ARTS INTEGRATION INTO EDUCATION
"Promoting the
arts as a vehicle for solution oriented
strategic
planning
and development across the globe."

Welcome
to the Humanitarian Resource Institute
Global Arts Integration Into Education Initiative
web site.
As
a artist member of the Country Music Association (CMA) and American Society
of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP), I am working to bring together
all members of the arts and entertainment industry. The focus is to
facilitate collaboration and unity..... for the sake of those in need (rich
and poor), the vulnerable, and most importantly those who have not the capacity
to defend themselves.
Before the decision to take my music to the next level, for close to two
decades, my work with social advocacy has included an intensive focus on
priority issues, meeting with the executive directors of the frontline programs,
conducting talks for youth and community leaders in hundreds of United States
cities, coast to coast.
In 1994, I formed the non-profit organization "Humanitarian Resource Institute,"
with a simple mission "to bridge Unmet Needs to Untapped Resources."
Following initiatives in all 50 states and territories, at the request of
leaders in Washington, I expanded this work into 192 member countries of
the United Nations.
Today, I would like to invite all artists and members of the entertainment
industry to join us in these efforts.
