I have been going to an A & R meeting every week for several weeks at work, but don't know what it means and now I'd look like an idiot if I asked anyone.

Stands for Artists and Repertoire. That exec signs the talent. I was wondering the same thing, but afraid to ask for fear of looking stupid as well.

Definitions of A&R on the Web:
* Artists and Repertoire' is the term for an individual or company that seeks to place new talent with a recording label and then find possible hits for them to perform. Historically, A&R bought and sold songs from songwriters for artists to perform, but now with most artists self-writing, they tend to work within record labels, and in essence get paid to make sure the record label sells hits. They can be thought of as a level of 'talent scout' for the industry, but are not the same as 'Agents'.

* Artist and repertoire (A&R for short) is a music industry term that refers to the division of a record label that is responsible for scouting and developing talent. The A&R department is the link between the recording artist/act and the record label, and is often required to handle contractural negotiations, find songwriters and record producers for the act, and schedule recording sessions.

Well, first of all.....what type of company do you work for? Because that would be a dead giveaway as to "clue you in" on what they (co.) are actually referring to....
However, based on my past business interviews, I would have to say "accounts and receivables"....Just remember....In life, no questions are stupid....but to ASSUME that you know something....well, I'm sure you know the rest of that saying...lol....
Go ahead.....SPEAK UP :)
