When you join the American Guild of Organists, you are joining a national organization of people who share a passion for the organ. Full voting membership includes both national and chapter benefits. There are more than 280 chapters throughout the United States and abroad. Joining a local chapter allows you to enjoy camaraderie with other organists in your local area, giving you the opportunity to celebrate the King of Instruments together. Membership includes a subscription to The American Organist (TAO) Magazine in printed and digital form or in digital form only.
Chapter activities and benefits often include:
- Local substitute lists so you can earn extra income by filling in for other chapter members
- Chapter newsletters with news of local events and personal updates
- Chapter directories
- Local recitals and other events
