The SYO Inc. is a non-profit, volunteer-run organization. It exists to serve the needs of the players and their families and to further musical education in our communities. A board of directors is elected at our annual general meeting in the spring. It meets monthly and all are welcome to attend those meetings.
To serve its artistic and administrative needs, the SYO Inc. contracts two part-time music directors and one part-time executive director. But the vast majority of the responsibilities of running the organization fall to our volunteers.
To contact the board of directors, please email chair@syo.ca.
