The CMA selection committee reviewed multiple candidates before confirming Schaffer’s appointment.
“Our search committee set out to find a leader who understands the responsibility of representing this industry, not just the opportunity of it,” said Jay Williams, CMA Board Chairman and WME Nashville Partner and Co-Head.
“We believe Brittany is exactly the leader to carry this organization into its next era.”
Trahern expressed confidence in the committee’s decision and wished Schaffer success.
“Leading this organization for 13 years has been the honor of my life,” Trahern said.
“I trust the thoughtfulness they poured into this process, and I look forward to cheering this entire industry on for many years to come.”
