The State Bar of Texas Entertainment and Sports Law Section Council is now soliciting nominations for the recipient of the 2012 Cindi Lazzari Artist Advocate Award. The award is named for the late Cindi Lazzari, a Texas attorney who went far beyond the call of duty in her efforts to protect the rights of artists in the music industry. Each year the Council recognizes an organization or individual working in Texas who has been actively involved in advocating and supporting artist’s rights in the music business. Past recipients of the award include Cindi Lazzari posthumously (2006), Casey Monahan of the Texas Music Office (2007), the SIMS Foundation (2008), Robin Shivers (2009), Nikki Rowling (2010) and Texas Accountants and Lawyers for the Arts (2011).
