Attention All AWFS® Members –
AWFS is seeking to fill two open board positions for 2015. Initially, these openings only require that the director serve for one year. However, we are seeking individuals that will be open to serving an additional full-term starting in 2016 and running through 2018.
Both of these positions are specifically designated for anyone that may be working for an AWFS member company that would be classified under the category, “Woodworking & Casegoods Supplies/Components,” which would include any non-machinery-related company other than those primarily involved in the bedding and/or home furnishings and upholstery supplies segment of the industry. Machinery companies and bedding/upholstery manufacturers and suppliers are classified under their own separate categories and already have full representation on the current AWFS board. If you are not certain about your industry classification, we would be happy to cross check our member records on your behalf.
AWFS board members are critical in helping to develop and monitor the policies and strategic goals of the Association and our trade show, AWFS®Fair. Serving as an AWFS board member has proven to be an excellent way for our members to give back to the industry by volunteering their time, knowledge and experience. If you or someone you know would be a good fit for the AWFS board, based on the listed qualifications, please fill out the application or forward it to an individual you believe would be interested in applying. Any questions, may be directed to the AWFS, executive vice president, Angelo Gangone at Angelo@awfs.org or (323) 838-9440 ext. 304.
If you are not currently eligible to apply for the current board openings but are interested in applying for a board position, within your industry category, when it becomes available, please inform me via email so we can alert you in relation to future opportunities. Although being an AWFS member is a requirement for all applicants, exhibiting in our Fair is not a requirement to serve as a board member. I thank you for your time and look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Angelo Gangone
Executive Vice President, AWFS
