Additive Manufacturer Green Trade Association Names New Executive Director

The Additive Manufacturer Green Trade Association (AMGTA), a global trade organization created to promote the environmental benefits of additive manufacturing (AM), has named Sherri Monroe its new executive director, effective immediately. Monroe’s nonprofit work includes roles as the regional chief development officer and executive director of the American Red Cross, as well as the program marketing and community engagement manager of the American Cancer Society.

In addition, Monroe has worked in the for-profit innovation space, most recently in support of Siemens Energy in Orlando, FL.

“I am thrilled to be joining the AMGTA at this critical point in its development,” says Monroe. “Additive manufacturing has the potential to be transformational in how we sustainably manufacture, and it is our role at the AMGTA to help unlock this potential through rigorous research and industry outreach.”

“Sherri’s proven leadership in both the non-profit and for-profit worlds is the perfect background for our Executive Director role,” says Brian Neff, the AMGTA’s board chair. “I am looking forward to working with her as she continues the remarkable growth of our organization.”

The AMGTA is expected to announce the findings of its first commissioned life cycle analysis, which involved an aircraft engine bracket, later this summer.
