The late Wayne Tiffany (1955-2012) was honored with a new award in his name, user group leader of the year. Wayne, a veteran SolidWorks user, lost his battle with cancer last year.

Hi Roopinder,
A couple of clarifications:
Anna Wood is the leader of the Phoenix Metro SolidWorks User Group.
The User Group Leader of the Year award will now be presented annually in Wayne's name. Peter Fischer was this year's winner.
