Pollack Named Chair of Musicians On Call
• Musicians On Call (MOC), a nonprofit that brings live and recorded music to the bedsides of patients in healthcare facilities, proudly announces the appointment of Alissa Pollack, iHeartMedia Executive Vice President of Global Music Marketing as Chair of its National Board of Directors. Outgoing Chair, RIAA Chairman & CEO Mitch Glazier moves to the role of Chair Emeritus. Additional Board appointments include philanthropist Michelle Frohlich-Klinger as Secretary, and Baker Sullivan Hoover PLC Managing Partner Cathy Sullivan, CPA, CFP, PFS as Treasurer. MOC also announced the re-election of Mack Real Estate Group Co-Founder Stephen Mack and 25-year music veteran Rome Thomas to the Board, the addition of its newest member SCS Innovations, LLC President Sara Star, and remembers the dedication of former Board member Kevin O’Toole, who passed away last year.
“We could not be more excited for the future of Musicians On Call under the direction of this unparalleled group of leaders,” said Pete Griffin, Pres. & CEO of Musicians On Call. “Alissa has been an incredible force for our mission, introducing countless artists and community supporters to our programs over the years. She’s the perfect person to take the reins following Mitch’s great work as Chair. This group of new and returning Board members have the rich knowledge and innovative vision to help Musicians On Call thrive as we embark on a new program direction. We will, however, deeply miss the passion of our friend Kevin O’Toole, who was a great champion for the healing power of music. I’m confident that his legacy will live on in every aspect of our organization.”
Pollack was instrumental in bringing Musicians On Call’s live music programs to City of Hope in Los Angeles and Staten Island University Hospital in New York through the Jason Pollack Bedside Performance Program, in honor of her late father. Pollack has served on MOC’s National Board of Directors since 2010 and Glazier has been a member of the Board since 2011.
For more than 20 years Musicians On Call has used music to promote and complement the healing process in hospitals. As the nation’s leading provider of live music in hospitals, MOC Volunteers have performed for one million people in healthcare facilities nationwide.
