    • Member confidence leads to re-elections.

    CHATSWORTH, CALIF., April 28, 2016 – The Additive Manufacturing Users Group (AMUG) today announced its 2016—2017 board. Elected by AMUG members during the annual business meeting held at the 2016 AMUG Conference in St. Louis, Missouri, the board’s primary responsibility will be to oversee the April 2017 conference.

    In a vote of confidence, the members accepted the standing board’s recommended slate, which leaves the board relatively unchanged. Not seeking re-election for president after serving two terms, Mark Barfoot will become the past president. Filling the president role will be Steve Deak, formerly a vice president. Filling Deak’s vice president seat will be Paul Bates, who served as deputy vice president.

    Deak served as president of 3DSUG, the predecessor of AMUG, in 2000, 2004 and 2005. He said, “I am honored to serve once again as president of AMUG, following my two terms as vice president.” Deak continued, “Our board has great experience coupled with strong sense of purpose for the organization and passion for our members. I look forward to leading AMUG and engaging more of our members in preparation for the 2017 conference.”
