Meet the New SWUGN Committee Representatives

By

The SolidWorks User Group Network (SWUGN) Committee is made up of 8 very energetic SolidWorks user from around the world.  Board membership is an elected position, and members serve two-year terms.  Each year in December, elections are held for one-half of the committee.  This year’s elections resulted in two of our reps staying on for another term – congratulations to Lynnette Sabatka (Southern US), and Hal Olguner (Asia/Pacific) – both of whom ran unopposed.

We have new representatives for the Midwest US and the Southeastern US, so let’s meet them now.

My official title is Senior User Advocacy & SolidWorks User Groups - but most people just call me "The User Group Guy". I've been a SolidWorks user since 1997, and was one of the founding members of the SWUGN Committee. Since starting the Central Texas SolidWorks User Group in 1999, my career path has led me to DS SolidWorks and a dream job supporting the SolidWorks User Group Network worldwide.
