Why not get involved? GH can use your special talents in areas
such as publicity, computers, publishing, organization, etc.. Most of our membership
works outside of the classical guitar field; your talents can be utilized in many
ways! If you want to be actively involved, you might consider joining the Board.
There are also committee positions available for volunteers.
The Board of Directors meeting is an organizational meeting, where the board
members discuss old and new business, committee reports, and vote on resolutions.
Attendance at the board meeting is mandatory for board members. Any Guitar Houston
member may attend. If you would like to become a board member, please contact GH
and attend board meetings. If you do not wish to become a board member but would
like to help out, we can certainly use your volunteer efforts by participating in
committees -
