A Brief History and Timeline of The San Diego NSAI Workshop The San Diego NSAI Workshop was founded in November of 1992 by Elizabeth C. Axford, San Diego NSAI Workshop Coordinator (1992-2010), after moving to San Diego as a result of Hurricane Andrew in Miami, FL in August of 1992. She had started the Miami NSAI Workshop in 1990, after joining NSAI in 1989. Her association through work at Suniland Music Shoppe in Miami with Paul Deakin, drummer for The Mavericks - Liz taught piano and Paul taught drums - helped to spark her interest in Nashville. She had always been a country music fan, and she felt much of the best songwriting of popular music was coming from Nashville. She wanted to learn from the source, so she ventured to Nashville. As a result, in 1990 Liz became one of the original seven NSAI Regional Workshop Coordinators, helping to launch an international program of songcrafting and music industry studies. During her 20-year tenure, Liz was responsible for over 300 monthly workshops, songwriter showcases, and special events, raising tens of thousands of dollars in special event fees as well as hundreds of NSAI memberships. In 1997, she received an award certificate from NSAI stating, "It All Started With You!" and in 2010 she received an award for twenty years of service. A successful seminar organized by Liz at the Avalon Hotel on South Miami Beachwith Raul Malo of The Mavericks, Rick Beresford, Pat Rogers, and Katherine Dines in January of 1992 led to spin-off workshops in Ft. Lauderdale, Key West, and the Cayman Islands. Those combined workshops are still going today as the South Florida NSAI Workshop, as is the San Diego NSAI Workshop.
Please scroll down for a timeline of past San Diego NSAI Workshop meetings and events from November, 1992 thru January, 2011, when Elizabeth C. Axford served as the original and longest-running San Diego NSAI Regional Workshop Coordinator! The San Diego NSAI Regional Workshop currently holds regular monthly meetings hosted by the new co-coordinators Tracey and Vance Marino (2012-Present) TVMarino@cox.net

Testimonials and Friendly "Goodbyes!"
"Congrats on 20 years of doing a Fantastic job of giving of yourself, sharing, caring and bringing together so many songwriters and helping them on your journey! You have been a part of many people's lives - and I am proud of you and blessed to have been a coordinator with you across the miles for (6) of those years while I was in Charlotte, NC. Our friendship resulted in you inviting me to your home for a week in early 2003, which led to a dinner with Orange County and LA coordinators and the idea of the Nashville Muse was planted that night - because of you inviting me to hang out at your house and do a workshop that particular week. You have been a blessing to many people over the years, friendships from those attending your workshops and other events. I wish you the very best with the changes in your life and look forward to seeing you in the future!" - Doak Turner
"Job well done! Twenty years is amazing, you should be proud of all the lives you've touched. God Bless." - Cliff and Bev Nelson
"We truly appreciate your hard work and dedication over the years! Thanks again for being an inspiration and for all of your guidance on this crazy journey." - Tracey and Vance Marino
"Thanks for spending a couple of decades among us in San Diego. I am one of the many whose life has been richer for knowing you. I’ve always been impressed by your energy and entrepreneurship. I got a lot out of my years in NSAI as well, particularly seminars with Blume & Seskin that you arranged. Best of luck in your next venture." - John Bosley
"I am sorry to see your notice of retiring but it is a totally understandable transition. You have set a high bar for all the other coordinators for organization and the generous nurturing of writers both in Florida and here in California. Hopefully our paths will keep crossing though I wasn't able to get to the San Diego workshop this winter. I have been involved in running some small workshops for a NY publishing company in LA at ASCAP but I"ll be back next winter for 3 months and let's keep in touch. I'll see Joyce in March but please give her my best." - Jerry Silverstein
"Thanks for all your hard work and dedication to the cause of Songwriting and helping to educate us. I really appreciate all the benefits I received from my limited participation. I regret that I didn't do more, but life had my plate pretty full. Thanks again for everything you've given us." - Natasha Ragland
"Wanted to say thanks for your years of service to NSAI and best wishes in your relocation. Thanks too for saying good-bye; sometimes people don't formally do that and I think it always helps to close one chapter and welcome another. Though I haven't attended recently, I always enjoyed very much the NSAI meetings at your place in Del Mar and hope that the next chapter of your life brings you good things." - Natori Moore
"I appreciate your service during the workshops and festivities I was able to attend." - Raul d'Ablaing
"Yes, thanks to you and congratulations to you for all you have done for NSAI in San Diego! Good luck in the future." - Steve
