Chapters can help grow the next generation of organists by:
Encouraging pianists and organists of all ages in your area to register for one of the 2020 POEs. Brochures may be downloaded and applications for 2020 POE events are now available online.

Letting young musicians know that scholarship assistance is available for POE, POE-A, and POE-Tech events.

Making a chapter donation to one of the host chapters to help underwrite some of the costs of producing the POE.

Welcoming new members (all POE, POE-A, and POE-Tech participants receive a one-year membership in AGO) to your chapter and helping them get involved.

Applying to host a POE in 2021 – it’s one of the greatest experiences your chapter will ever have!
