WHY JOIN AMSOV?
"It's been most important to me to mix and mingle with delegates from like orchestras. It's a chance to learn because they've had the same challenges. We've shared ideas so we wouldn't have to reinvent the wheel."

The best thing about AMSOV are all the friendships that I have developed along the way. As volunteers, when we share and work together using our unique proficiencies and experiences, the whole is much greater than the sum of the parts. I am indebted to AMSOV for all the
one-of-a-kind experiences that I have had visiting symphony volunteer organizations in the United States and Canada and the opportunity to attend outstanding performances of their symphonies.

In the 20+ years that I have been a member of AMSOV, I have greatly appreciated how the organization supports and champions North America’s major symphony orchestra volunteer groups. Its conferences, website and email newsletters inform groups about orchestral activity and developments. The conferences provide educational sessions from renowned speakers on innovation, advocacy, projects and fundraising, and leadership advancement. Friendships with the volunteer groups have been formed and sustained through the many years. I am excited to go to Kansas City in 2024 to greet longtime friends and make new friendships from the member orchestras.

I have attended all but two conferences since 1987. Through the years, I have truly enjoyed meeting, networking, sharing and getting new ideas from volunteers from many other major orchestras, and learning to sharpen my leadership skills. I have also made some life-long friends.
AMSOV has been an important part of my life and I am grateful to have been given the opportunity.
