The Professional Audio Manufacturers Alliance (PAMA) is extending an invitation to the audio community to join its Nov. 17 membership meeting with featured guests Courtney and Paul Klimson, founders of The Roadie Clinic.

The Roadie Clinic was launched in 2020 with the mission to empower and heal roadies and their families by providing services and resources tailored to the struggles of touring. PAMA has been a booster of The Roadie Clinic since its inception, and Courtney and Paul will be sharing some of the ways that the organization has grown with support from across the industry, including PAMA.

The free event will be held online at 12 p.m. EST, on Nov. 17, 2022. Registration is required to attend. Registration is available on the PAMA events page: pamalliance.org/events.
Video archives of past PAMA membership meetings can be found on there as well. Also available on the site are videos of PAMA’s student career opportunities series of online sessions.

The Roadie Clinic is organized as a 501(c)(3) non-profit agency, offering its facility and services for little to no charge to touring professionals and their families. In an industry with very few resources for roadies, it will offer therapy, education, advocacy, financial guidance, recovery resources, marriage counseling, family resources, suicide prevention tools, women-in-touring services and temporary housing when available. The Roadie Clinic’s home in Niles, Michigan, is a three-story multi-faceted space, including five private accommodation lofts, a professional mixing studio, commercial kitchen, conference rooms, offices for in-house staff and much more.
