Resignation

CONTENT CREATORS COALITION Exec. Dir. JEFF BOXER has resigned after reports of sexual harassment were made public. In a statement, the Board said it was "deeply troubled by reports of sexual misconduct," and it convened an emergency board meeting, where they accepted Mr. BOXER’s resignation.

"C3 exists to advocate and champion fair treatment, empathy and respect for artists, and that advocacy extends to all human beings, the statement goes on. "We offer our most sincere apologies to the three women who came forward with their stories. We deeply regret their suffering. We should have done better in listening to them and championing them. We will do better. We take this opportunity in the young life of our organization to re-commit to our ideals of respect, compassion, equality and transparency."

The statement was signed by Pres. MELVIN GIBBS, VP JOHN MCCREA, Treasurer TOMMY MANZI, VP at Large ROSANNE CASH, VP at Large TIFT MERRITT, and VP at Large MATTHEW MONFORT.

In his own statement, JEFF BOXER wrote:

“It is with great regret that I announce my resignation today as Exec. Dir. of the CONTENT CREATORS COALITION.

“While I never intended to make anyone uncomfortable and believed I was acting professionally at all times, I recognize that was not the case. To ROSY NOLAN, TESSA LENA and my former colleague CHELSEA CROWELL, I am deeply sorry for making you feel personally uncomfortable and professionally unappreciated. I respect your choice to speak out, just as I would encourage any woman or man who has felt mistreated to step forward. My decades fighting for working people and workplace justice requires nothing less, even in these circumstances.

“At this point, I refuse to become a distraction or drain on the efforts of c3 and all its members to fight for artists’ rights and fair treatment for all music creators.

“Thank you for the opportunity to serve as Exec. Dir. of this great organization.”
