During the MMX event, Marilyn T Gaska, PhD, LM Senior Fellow at Lockheed Martin, was awarded the 2023 Distinguished Collaborator Award. This award, established in 2014, recognises individuals who cultivate effective collaborative relationships with academia, government, and industry. Gaska is the first person to receive both the Ambassador and Collaborator awards. She is recognised for her exceptional efforts in advancing AM technology, practices, and innovation in the manufacturing industry, as well as her contributions to the Institute.

“As chair of the America Makes Maintenance and Sustainment Advisory Group and an ambassador since 2017, I am honoured to be the recipient of the 2023 Distinguished Collaborator Award,” said Dr Gaska. “In particular hosting six of the Additive and Advanced Manufacturing Wargames and Workshops annual events provided an exceptional opportunity to support collaboration among the government, industry, and academia.”

“This is an exciting time to be part of America Makes,” stated John Wilczynski, Executive Director of the Institute. “As we continue to strengthen and build upon our successful collaboration model, the work of these individuals remains critical to the industry’s future. Their passion and drive are helping to fuel the next generation of AM innovators.”
