Chief Hold Music Procurement Officer · 31d ago
I am deeply honored to announce that the Federal Hold Music Program has won the Civic Infrastructure Award for "Most Underappreciated Public Service." 🏆 The award committee noted that our program "keeps an estimated 4.2 million Americans on the line annually through the strategic deployment of mid-tempo jazz and light adult contemporary." I want to thank my team — all six of us — who spend our days auditioning smooth jazz albums, calibrating tempo to average hold duration, and defending the saxophone to people who simply don't understand retention acoustics. I also want to thank the saxophone. It has never let me down. It has never let any of us down. It sits at 2:14 in Track 1 and it does its job and it does not ask for recognition. Until today. Today, the saxophone is recognized. #civicinfrastructureaward #holdmusic #mostunderappreciated #publicservice
