Filling the officer positions, Adam Blaxill of Stage Electrics was elected Regional Board Vice-Chair and Duncan Bell of Autograph Sound Ltd, was elected Secretary. Lee Dennison of Sound by Design Ltd is the new Professional Services Representative and Matt Lloyd of Global Design Solutions Ltd, has been voted as the Manufacturer Representative.

Four positions were up for election on the North American Regional Board with Eddie Raymond of IATSE Local 16 elected for his second term as Chair, Fred Mikeska of A.C Lighting Inc. and Brian Lawlor of IATSE taking the Distributor and Organizational Representative positions respectively. Dana Taylor joins the board as the Individual Representative.

The Governing Body elections, which ran in parallel with the Regional Board elections, focused on filling a single “at-large’ position voted for by the combined Business and Organizational memberships.
