ATOS consists of regional member-chapters, and is led by democratically elected leaders. There are currently over 75 local chapters of ATOS, and membership is made up of musicians, technicians, hobbyists, educators, and others who enjoy the music of the theatre organ. The ATOS Board of Directors is the main governing body.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.atos.org/chapters/formation )〕
==History==
Theatre organs took the place of the orchestra when installed in movie theatres during the heyday of silent films. After the introduction of sound films in the late 1920s, the production of theater organs started decreasing.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.atos.org/about/history/theatre-organ-1 )〕 However, the music and sound of the theater organ continued to remain popular with a number of enthusiasts. And in 1955, ATOS was founded to promote and preserve the heritage of theater organs.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.atos.org/about )〕
ATOS was originally founded as a group called the ''American Theatre Organ Enthusiasts'', by Richard Simonton. Simonton was a Hollywood businessman and entrepreneur. And as a tremendous fan of theatre organ music, he arranged a gathering at his home on February 8, 1955, where he and several other organ enthusiasts founded what would later become ATOS.
