Mission:
To ensure the continued existence of major symphony orchestras in North America through volunteerism.
AMSOV WEBINARS
AMSOV is committed to providing membership benefits for its members throughout the year. One way to reach our members in the times between our biennial Conferences is to host webinars in which our members can participate, listen and ask questions. We have many experts who are familiar with a variety of issues facing symphony orchestras and their volunteers. We are happy to give our members access to experts throughout our volunteer organizations and our respective orchestras who will share their knowledge and experience.
AMSOV Fall Webinar Was Successful
AMSOV held a webinar on October 14, 2024, on the subject of Aligning Volunteer and Orchestra Goals. One of the main goals of our symphony orchestras and our volunteer organizations is to attract new and younger audience members and volunteers. The webinar addressed questions concerning how to attract members of the Millennial generation to your volunteer organization and to your symphony events.
About 20 participants received practical tips and suggestions from our talented webinar speaker Dr. Holly Hull Miore. Dr. Miori has spent nearly 20 years fundraising and is the author of Millennial Philanthropy: Next Generation Fund Development for Professionals and Nonprofits. She has recruited and trained leaders and has raised funds both locally and nationally in areas as diverse as higher education, healthcare and social services. She holds master’s degrees in theological studies and public affairs and a PhD in public affairs, where she focused on millennial philanthropy. Her research on trends in philanthropy includes faith-based fundraising, family foundations, and conscious capitalism.
