Resources for Chapter Leaders
The American Musicological Society (AMS) has fifteen affiliated regional chapters throughout the United States and Canada. These chapters are run by volunteer chapter leaders and are the first point of contact for many AMS members. Through chapter-organized conferences, mixers, writing groups, and other programs, AMS members connect with like-minded peers and strengthen their regional personal and professional networks. However, the vitality of the Society’s chapters depends entirely on the willingness of AMS members to step up, run for election, and assume positions of leadership. So, join the AMS and become part of your local chapter today.
