Alec Harris, President of GIA Publications, publicly announced on 30 September 2016: “I’ve had the honor to work with these three wonderful people (Marty Haugen, Michael Joncas, and David Haas) for more than 30 years, and I can’t overestimate the profound impact that they’ve all had for me personally, for everyone at GIA Publications, and for the worshiping church at large.”
