The Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI) and the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame held their annual dinner at the Renaissance Hotel in Nashville on October 17. This year’s inductions into the Hall of Fame included the late Stephen Foster and Paul Davis, Pat Alger, and Steve Cropper. During the ceremony, former BMI President & CEO Frances Preston joined the night’s honorees, receiving the prestigious NSAI Mentor Award. As a testament to her lasting influence, NSAI surprised the legendary executive by renaming the trophy the Frances Williams Preston Mentor Award. Pictured are BMI’s Jody Williams, NSAI Hall of Fame inductees Pat Alger and Steve Cropper, NSAI Mentor Award recipient Frances Preston, AT&T’s Gregg Morton, Bug Music’s Roger Murrah, and BMI President & CEO Del Bryant.
