The Manitoba Loud Music Awards is aware of the serious allegations that have been made concerning our Chief Executive Officer
We want to state clearly that we take these matters with the utmost seriousness. Conduct of this nature is fundamentally at odds with our company’s values, culture, and commitment to maintaining a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment for all employees, partners, and stakeholders.
Upon learning of these allegations, the Board of Directors immediately initiated an independent review. The Chief Executive Officer has stepped aside from day-to-day responsibilities effective immediately while this process is underway. Brett Naskrent & Mike Dearman will assume leadership duties during this period to ensure continuity of operations.
We are committed to a thorough, impartial, and respectful process. Out of respect for all parties involved and the integrity of the review, we will not comment further on specific details at this time.
We recognize the courage it takes for individuals to come forward, and we reaffirm our commitment to fostering an environment where concerns can be raised safely and without fear of retaliation.
We will provide updates as appropriate and thank our employees, partners, sponsors, and community for their patience and understanding.
