Welcome to the Southwest Florida Chapter Web Site. We are happy to welcome new AGO members at any time. Our membership of over 70 people covers a wide geographic area from Port Charlotte to Naples. We have meetings and workshops during the year that will interest all church musicians. It is not necessary to have a degree in music to be a member. Membership categories range from student voting to regular voting. You may also join as a chapter friend.
