The AGO National Council is committed to membership recruitment, retention, and growth within our organization. As more of our members have reached the “Special” membership category, we recognize that new initiatives must be developed to attract and welcome younger members into the Guild. We want them to experience the wealth of benefits, professional opportunities, and camaraderie we have enjoyed during our careers.
To this end, we have established the “Year of the Young Organist,” July 1, 2021–June 30, 2022. During these 12 months, any individual under the age of 30 can become a new member or renew her/his membership for free as part of this program.We will not collect membership dues for young organists, neither the national nor the chapter portion, during the upcoming membership year for those under the age of 30. All will receive full membership benefits, including TAO. New/renewing young organists can take advantage of this offer by visiting AGOhq.org/free-membership.
