Renew Your AAW Membership

Thanks for being part of the American Association of Woodturners. Your membership keeps you connected to more than 360 chapters and thousands of turners worldwide. It also funds grants, youth outreach and resources for teachers.

How to renew

Please don't create a new account. If you've been a member at any time in the last two years, sign in with your existing account, even if your membership has lapsed. A new account can create a duplicate record.

If your membership is still active

Renewal invoices go out about 60 days before your membership expires.

  1. Sign in to your account.
  2. Select Pay Balance in the menu on the left.
  3. Pay your renewal invoice by credit card or bank transfer (ACH).

If your membership has expired

  1. Sign in to your account.
  2. On your dashboard, select Renew Now, just below your expiration date.

  3. Follow the three steps: choose your membership type, confirm your information, and check out.

  4. When you're done, you'll see a confirmation message and your new expiration date.

Once you sign in, your dashboard always shows your expiration date and any open invoices.

Set it and forget it

Turn on AutoPay and we'll charge your saved payment method each year when your renewal invoice is ready. You'll get a reminder email before we charge you, and another if your card on file has expired.

To turn it on, sign in, select Payment in the menu on the left, and switch Auto-Pay Membership to On.
