Valley Village, CA - U.S. Rep. Howard Berman (D-Valley Village) issued the following statement honoring the life and legacy of Frances Preston, the former president and CEO of Broadcast Music Inc. The statement follows:
“Frances Preston was a trailblazer who opened up doors of opportunity for a new generation of female executives in the music and entertainment industries. No barriers stopped Frances in advocating for songwriters’ rights, and on Capitol Hill, her tireless advocacy was critical in protecting the music industry. Her counsel was indispensible and I sought it often. Frances was an industry pioneer and a compassionate humanitarian who touched the lives of many people, and she will be sorely missed.”
