Steve Moore Resigns As CMA CEO

Steve Moore

Steve Moore, who has led the Country Music Association for nearly four years, has resigned his position, effective immediately, according to The Tennsessean. 

Moore was named CEO two and a half years ago, but had served as interim director before that. He replaced Tammy Genovese, who resigned her position in late 2009.

The organization did not immediately announce plans regarding new leadership, but spokeswoman Wendy Pearl said the board would be making an announcement regarding a transition plan soon.

Under Moore, the 2013 CMA Music Festival hit a record attendance with an increase of 13 percent. He also created and led the newly formed CMA Foundation.

In addition, Moore was instrumental in securing an extension of the television partnership for the annual CMA Awards, the CMA Music Festival special, and the “CMA Country Christmas” special, which all appear in ABC Television Network.
