Chapters and demonstrators asked for it and now AAW is delighted to introduce its newest Vision 2020 initiative Demonstrator Direct. Demonstrator Direct is an easy-to-use, online tool designed to help facilitate connections between AAW chapters and demonstrators. We encourage you to give it whirl!

Demonstrator Direct is designed to help chapters:
  • Schedule demonstrations faster, easier, and more conveniently.
  • Identify the right demonstrators for your chapter programs.
  • Tap into a broader range of woodturning talent.
  • Tackle the learning needs of your chapter more effectively.
  • Know about innovations and trending woodturning topics.
  • Locate demonstrators in your chapter region or other geographic areas using an interactive map.
  • Coordinate demonstrator trips with others to help reduce travel expenses.
AAW and chapters have collaborated to create a total woodturning experience for members since 1986. Demonstrator Direct is another example of how AAW and chapters are partnering to advance woodturning education and opportunities worldwide.​

Demonstrator Direct helps professional and up-and-coming demonstrators:
  • Find contact information for chapters in select geographic regions, and can filter the results by state, chapter name, or contact name.
  • Get the chapter contact's name, phone number, email address, chapter meeting location, website, location, and meeting days.
  • Maximize your demonstration travel schedule and reduce travel expenses by easily scheduling multiple demonstrations at chapters within geographic proximity.
  • Plan, deliver, and evaluate your demonstrations using demonstrator tested resources in Demonstrator Direct's Develop a Demonstration section.

Demonstrators: Get Listed on the Demonstrator Direct Map
To be listed on the Demonstrator Direct map, you need to be an AAW member and signed up as a professional demonstrator and then you must compete the new demonstrator information fields in your profile. (Log in to the AAW website at woodturner.org and go to "Manage Profile.")​

We encourage you to give it whirl!
