Regional Representation
At the regional Level FACTOR is affiliated with provincial and national music industry associations. These organizations are represented in two different ways. FACTOR has a National Advisory Board that has representation from 23 provincial and national music industry associations. They provide input to FACTOR to assist in policy and program development.
FACTOR has 11 Regional Evaluation Co-Ordinators (REC's), also represented by eight of the provincial music industry associations and one independent representative from Quebec, who provide regional evaluations for sound recording programs that require a peer assessment. They also provide input and feedback regarding industry feedback about FACTOR’s programs.
There is a minimum of one face to face meeting per year with both these groups of representatives. This helps to ensure that there is a national voice involved in the good work being undertaken by FACTOR. Listed below are the representatives and the respective organizations they represent.
