9th April 2024

Last month Mark Amory left the AMA board after a long period of service to the association. According to the AMA’s constitution, board members hold their positon as a representative of a member company and therefore vacate that position when they leave that employer.

Angus Marshall, recently appointed as Interim General Manager, Fender Music Australia, accepted a nomination to fill the casual vacancy and was elected by a vote of the board on Friday 5th April.

Thanks to Mark for his contribution to the AMA, through his previous role at Yamaha and more recently at Fender. Mark shared the association’s aspiration to grow music making in Australia, offered practical support including hosting board meetings, at times played a key role in discussions and decision making, and brought his substantial experience and insights to the AMA’s work.

Welcome to Angus, I look forward to working with you and continuing the AMA’s constructive relationship with Fender as a significant part of the industry.
