The 2007 CARA coordinators were Julia Hoffman and Jon Pilat. This year, they chose about 60 fans and performers of varied backgrounds to spend months considering each of the albums submitted to the CARAs. Anyone holding a current or former affiliation with a group or album under consideration is not allowed to take part in the consideration of that award.
Thank you all for your many hours of work! You are much appreciated!
