Nominate your mentor for our Regional award!

At the upcoming Regional Convention - June 15-18, 2009, in Wichita, KS - we will have a chance to honor someone within the ten states as our 2009 Regional Honoree. Who has impacted your musical life? Who comes immediately to mind as the person who most exemplifies Guild's mission?

The AGO mission statement: "The purpose of the American Guild of Organists is to promote the organ in its historic and evolving roles, to encourage excellence in the performance of organ and choral music, and to provide a forum for mutual support, inspiration, education, and certification of Guild members."

We all have mentors who have inspired us to be active in our profession. These can be formal mentors - organ instructors, choral directors, etc., with whom we have interacted - or informal mentors - composers, performers, organ builders, etc., whose work has influenced ours but whom we have never had the pleasure of meeting face-to-face. Take this opportunity to nominate your mentor!

The nomination form is available, along with the most recent updates about the 2009 Regional Convention, on the convention website.

Act now - deadline for nominations is December 1, 2008.
