The meeting also discussed leadership vacancies on the LAGAA committee. Several positions were filled, with Afande Fred and Jimmy Ogwang acting as custodians, Kaka Morrish taking over as secretary, Lucy Skin taking over as assistant, and OD Alex being appointed administrator.

This will involve working with gospel artists to reach a wider audience.
Building bridges through music

These events will target the Lango and Luo people living in these areas, giving artistes the opportunity to evangelize and uplift the spirit of the community.
Being united in faith, and committed to the gospel
LAGAA emphasizes unity in its design. The meeting emphasized the idea of working together as one team irrespective of religion.
However, LAGAA defines its purpose by distancing itself from secular music, focusing on sharing the gospel message through its songs.
DEMONSTRATE the emphasis on enrollment, strong governance, communication, and collaboration that points to a bright future for this organization.
With this foundation in place, LAGAA is poised to become a powerful tool for spreading the gospel and bringing communities together through gospel music.
