Mid-America Woodcarvers Association, Inc., a non-profit organization, was
formed to promote the appreciation and art of woodcarving and
associated crafts through instruction, exhibitions, demonstrations
and workshops. The club was organized in 1974 with 28 charter
members and was incorporated November 15, 1978 in Omaha, Nebraska.
Membership now numbers over 600.
Over the years, the club has attracted the membership of woodcarvers from
many states of the United States and Canada.
The club's progress stems from an interested, active membership. The
officers and five
board members are elected by the members. Additional club duties are
divided among twelve standing committees and other special
committees as needed.
Standards and rules are established by the officers, board members and
club members to uphold a consistency for shows, sales, tools sold,
schools and seminars organized for our club.
Many club members share their knowledge, experience and give their time
and talents to the club programs. These leaders help in a variety of
ways to further members' knowledge.
