KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Missouriar -- The Music Recognition Association of America (MRAA) is excited to announce an important update to its certification program. Effective immediately, the MRAA's million certification level will transition from Gold to Silver.

"We recognized the need for clarity and differentiation in our certification program," said La'Nardo Myrick Sr., CEO of MRAA. "By updating our million-level certification to Silver, we are ensuring that our awards stand out and accurately reflect the accomplishments of our members without confusion with other industry certifications."
