Guitars in the Classroom (GITC) has announced that Art Harvey, Onboard Research, and Janet Godin, Godin Guitars, have accepted new executive positions, treasurer and secretary respectively, to lead the work and future of the 14-year-old not-for-profit organization. Both Harvey and Godin have been members of the GITC’s Board of Directors since late 2012.
Art Harvey now serves as the organization’s treasurer, a position that includes financial oversight, guidance and planning. Harvey’s role as director of marketing and sales for OnBoard Research Corporation, the maker of Intellitouch, CenterPitch Tuners, and Beatnik Rhythm Analyzers, combined with his extensive prior board service and his degrees from LSU and SMU, qualify Harvey to provide guidance for the organization.
Janet Godin now serves GITC as its secretary, a role that draws on her knowledge and understanding in three areas of expertise- early childhood education, organizational management and the music products industry. Godin also works with her husband, Robert who founded Godin Guitars more than 40 years ago. Based in Montreal, Quebec, Godin Guitars operates six factories and has more than 600 employees crafting acoustic and electric guitars under the brands: Godin, Seagull, Simon & Patrick, Norman, Art & Lutherie, and La Patrie.
