Our new Dean, Cathryn Wilkinson, writes:

As your incoming Dean, I am delighted to share that, thanks to the excellent work of our past Dean, Executive Board, and membership, our chapter has been recognized with a GOLD Chapter Award.  This is the highest possible achievement.  An excerpt of the announcement follows.  For more details, see your AGO July News from Headquarters. 

In the coming year, I look forward to meeting and working with all of you to support organists and build interest in the organ.

These chapters represent every AGO region, and range in size from 13 to more than 200 members. Most have fewer than 100. Their innovative activities and best practices will be shared with all chapters, in an effort to support and strengthen the AGO at the local level. Believe me, these chapters are leading the way with creative and effective ideas!
