All members of the guild should have all Required mods installed, especially if you wish to be included in guild raids. It would also be helpful if you could install those listed as Guild mods.
Note: Hybrid classes should also check the ones from the melee and caster classes as these may be applicable.
You can get these mods from the following sites:

Required Mods
You must have Ventrilo and either oRA2 or CTRA installed and working before joining a Guild raid.
- Ventrilo - Voice comms software. Not a WoW mod but required for Guild raids. For more information on configuring Ventrilo see the post here
- oRA2 - Basic raid interface with low memory and CPU usage. Displays Main Tanks, Player Targets, Resurrection Monitor and Cooldown Timers but does not display raid group frames. Addons such as sRaidFrames (see below) can add this functionality
- CT RaidAssist - Fully featured and highly configurable raid interface, but higher memory and CPU usage than oRA2
Guild Mods
- Cartographer - Map replacement that includes instance and battleground maps, and optionally replaces your world maps with completed versions. Includes a comprehensive map notes system. Shows the location of Guild members who have the mod running on your world map. Lots of optional addons including Cartographer_Herbalism and Cartographer_Mining which record the locations of herbalism and mining spots
