In many AGO chapters in Region VI, kickoff events of the 2009-10 program year are occurring this month. Best wishes to all of you for exiting and motivational program years! Check out the Regional calendar, below, to see what your fellow chapter members are up to this year.
My sincere thanks to all of you who are serving in a volunteer leadership role in your chapter this year. The Guild could not function without volunteer leadership at all levels. You may not be aware that my position as Regional Councillor and all of the other Regional officers (ten District Conveners, the Coordinator for Education, and the Coordinator for Professional Development) are all volunteer positions. In addition, all of the AGO's National Council are volunteers. When you meet or see one of these many people, please join me in thanking them their role in making the Guild a vital and energetic organization!
The diverse membership of the American Guild of Organists needs a variety of services from the organization. I hope that this year you are able to find the inspiration and information you need from your Guild. If you don't, I encourage you to volunteer for future program committees to help create the Guild you need.
Speaking from experience, serving as a volunteer leader in this organization is very gratifying and rewarding (and yes, very time- and energy-consuming). It's worth it! Join me in working to make the Guild always vital, always better.
All best to you for 2009-10.
