The U.S. Postal Service has announced that they cannot accept mail at many facilities and zip codes in the areas affected by Hurricane Katrina. This will undoubtedly affect our ability to get distribution checks to affected publisher members in September and possibly to writer members in October.
ASCAP representatives are prepared to do everything possible to get your check to you through alternate channels. We are anxious to help you, please contact us as soon as your conditions stabilize.

About ASCAP
Established in 1914, ASCAP is the first and leading Performing Rights Organization in the U.S., representing the world's largest repertory which totals over 8 million copyrighted musical works of every style and genre from more than 220,000 composer, lyricist and music publisher members. Additionally, ASCAP represents the works in the repertories of 70 affiliated foreign performing rights organizations created by many thousand affiliated international members. ASCAP is committed to protecting the rights of its members by licensing and collecting royalties for the public performance of their copyrighted works, and then distributing these fees to the Society's members based on performances. Unlike the other American Performing Rights Organizations, ASCAP's Board of Directors is made up solely of writers and publishers, elected by the membership every two years.
