Am hoping for members with fresh new ideas to step forward. I know there are turners or supporters out there that would make really good officers for 2024. Turning expertise not a requisite, just interest in turning and good organizational and leadership skill would be helpful. I’m guessing current board members would be glad to mentor their replacement. As a former board member, I’d be happy to share what I’ve learned, lets talk! Also, lots of helpful info on club organization on the AAW website <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Don’t need to hold AAW membership to be a club officer in any affiliate club, it’s not in the official AAW officer guidelines.
