We have had comments in the past that board members either do not participate on the forum or that they do not read the forum. I just wanted to highlight that we now currently have over half of the current board members actively participating on and monitoring the AAW forum. It doesn't get much better than that! :cool2:
 
Thanks for the kudo Sean but I've only setup the software. We have great member participation and that is what brings me back to the forum. Our co-moderator Steve has been the moderator for years and has done a fine job of it.

Look at you - sharin' the wealth.
But we do have great member participation. Just look at all the professors, sledgehammers and Pooh Bahs!
 
Jeff and Sean make two good points.

The forum like AAW is what its members make it.

We all appreciate superb effort by Jeff and Steve.

The forum is a great place to reach board members. We are here.
first as woodturners and as your representives.

Also, as we get closer to the Symposium a lot of exchange will take place.
There have already been several symposium threads.

This year is the 20th aniversary and rthe best Sympsium ever!
Fantastic Door prizes, Great demo line-up, largest Trade Show, 3 gallery exhibitions.

Happy Turning,
Al
