(eMusicWire.Org) – Jacksonville, FL -It has been proudly announced that Elder Lydia Goodin has handed the baton of leadership to Palm Beach’s GAG President Peppi Hendrix while Elder Lydia Goodin has been named President Emeritus.

President Hendrix is looking to expand the guild by establishing locations throughout Florida in the following locations: Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, Tallahassee and Pensacola.
He has named Lynette Brown, gospel radio personality Princess D’Vine as President for the Broward County (Ft. Lauderdale) area. He has also solicited Carol “The First Lady of Gospel” and Dana Mackey in the Tampa area to begin organization of a guild in that area. President Hendrix states, “I find it a privilege and astute honor to follow in the giant footsteps of President Emeritus Elder Lydia Goodin.” President Hendrix plans are to move expeditiously in expanding the Florida Region, where the world will know the quality of Gospel Music and Ministries which Florida has to offer.” His reasoning as he stated, “I want to continue to spread the Gospel of Christ through the medium of gospel music by branching out and spreading our wings into uncharted territories.”

The Florida Gospel Announcer’s Guild will enact quarterly meetings in the cities of the guild. These gatherings will be to make plans for our upcoming 2011 conference as well as network and tap into resources across the state beneficial to Florida artist and ministries. These quarterly meetings will showcase gospel talent, offer workshop sessions, and allow for networking opportunities. Our first state meeting is scheduled for October 2009 in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.

We are so proud of our past State Conference this year in Jacksonville on June 25-27, 2009. This years conference had such notables in gospel music industry as Al’The Bishop” Hobbs, Dennis Cole, Telisa Stinson, Ace Alexander, Johnny Sanders, Ron Staples of the Mighty Clouds of Joy, Malcolm Williams, Isaiah D. Thomas & Elements of Praise, Sunday’s Best Finalist Dontavius Boatwright, Syreeta Thompson, Monica Lisa Stevenson, and an awesome word spoken by Bishop Derek T. Triplett.

This year’s conference ended on a high note pushing the expectation for 2011 conference even higher.
