The AHS Annual Membership Meeting was held on Sunday, June 16, 2024 at 2 pm EDT.  This session included updates on the Society and our strategic plan, changes in leadership, and much more.  This year, our keynote speaker was renowned harpist Ann Hobson Pilot.  In a later session she discussed her experience of performing with John Williams, the legendary Star Wars composer, for 30 years and working with him on his harp concerto.

The South Florida Chapter Ensemble performed at the meeting as well, and members approved last year's meeting minutes.  The meeting stream was available on the AHS Facebook page, and YouTube channel.
