AWFS® Suppliers’ Edge Newsletter, Spring 2020
I hope this finds you, your family and business colleagues, all healthy and well. We are facing an unprecedented time during in our lives, and by pulling together we will all come out of this situation stronger as individuals and collectively as an industry.
The past two years as President of AWFS®, the Association has continued its commitment to further education, to work on and bring awareness to public policy matters that affects us all, offer more value with member services and showcased a successful AWFS®Fair in Las Vegas this past July. These last two years went by quickly and it is time to hand off the Association leadership to Dan Hershberger.
Members will continue to see relevant topics addressed which benefits them. Having worked with Dan these past years, he is passionate about our industry and will continue to lead AWFS® and its membership to further the woodworking industry. I am certain you will give Dan your support and if you have interest in serving on one of our committees, please contact an AWFS® staff or a board member.
It was an honor and a privilege to have the trust of our membership and serve as President during my 2018-2019 term. Working with the talented staff at AWFS® and our dedicated Board of Directors who give their time to help grow and strengthen this industry, made the task easy. I am sure you will continue to support the staff and board members as we all focus in making this industry stronger.
Thanks again for your support, stay safe and be well.
Philip Martin
Past President, 2020-2021
