The leadership of the three sponsoring associations – WMIA, WMMA and AWFS – have made the difficult decision to cancel the 18th Annual Woodworking Industry Conference. Despite registrations by many members of all three associations, attendance did not reach a level that justified going forward with the Conference, whose costs are underwritten in part for the membership by the associations. Registered attendees will be contacted about full refunds by the respective associations to which they submitted payment.

WMIA, WMMA and AWFS have always provided their members with first class events, and it is important to continue to do so. Please mark your calendars for WIC 2010 (Wednesday April 21st through Saturday April 24th) in Monterey, CA.

WMIA will be holding a Marketing Committee meeting and a WMIA Educational Foundation meeting on Tuesday, April 28th and a Board of Directors meeting on Wednesday, April 29th at the Sawgrass Marriott. Please contact WMIA at (410) 628-1970 for more information.
