The AES has released the list of winning candidates from the balloting in the 2017
Audio Engineering Society international elections. The newly elected officers will
assume their roles in October, shortly after the end of the 143rd International AES
Convention in New York.

Entering the office of president-elect is Nadja Wallaszkovits, who will serve first on the
AES board of governors and executive committee as president-elect, fully assuming
the presidency in October 2018 for a one-year term.

Joining the board of governors as treasurer-elect is Richard Wollrich, who will serve
alongside treasurer Garry Margolis for one year, then begin a two-year term as
treasurer. Also in October, current president Alex Case will remain on the executive
committee as past president for the 2017-2018 term, as current president-elect David
Scheirman advances into the presidency.

Joining Wallaszkovits and Wollrich on the AES board of governors will be eight newly
elected governors and officers, all beginning two-year terms in October:

• Vice President Central Region, U.S. and Canada: Mike Porter

• Vice President Central Region, Europe: Thomas Gorne

• Vice President Southern Region, Europe/Middle East/Africa: Ufuk Önen

• Vice President Latin American Region: Cesar Lamschtein

• Vice President International Region (Asia): Shusen Wang

• Governor: Kyle P. Snyder, Jonathan Wyner, Martha de Francisco

“In this exciting period of growth and innovation for the Audio Engineering Society,
the membership has voted in a dynamic group of new officers,’ said AES president
Alex Case. “I look forward to working with, and learning from, these talented
individuals as they apply their diverse knowledge and experience to the task of
leading the Society into the future.’

Additionally, to more accurately reflect current and future AES membership
demographics, the AES membership approved a bylaws change that eliminated the
previously mandated position of VP International Region. The VP International position
is expected to be renamed VP Asia Region. Along with the 2016 member reallocation
and renaming of the VP Southern Europe Region role to VP Southern Region,
Europe/Middle East/Africa, the change more uniformly serves AES membership in the
affected countries.

Within the stipulations of the AES bylaws, the overall function and direction of the AES
is established by the Society’s Board of Governors, which is elected by voting
members of the Society. The Society’s Executive Director operates and manages the
AES headquarters in New York City and reports to the Executive Committee, which
consists of the Society’s corporate officers. In turn, the Executive Committee reports
on its activities and on issues facing the Society to the full Board of Governors. The
AES President serves as the CEO of the Society, under the supervision and direction of
the Board of Governors.

The Board of Governors consists of:

1. The Society’s corporate officers (president; president-elect; immediate past-
president; secretary; and treasurer)

2. The Treasurer-Elect (when there is an incoming Treasurer). The treasurer-elect
serves for one year as a non-voting executive committee member and as a voting
board of governors member, before assuming the office of Treasurer

3. The eight regional vice-presidents (Eastern USA/Canada; Central USA/Canada;
Western USA/Canada; Northern Europe; Central Europe; Southern Europe/Middle
East/Africa; Latin America; Asia)

4. Eight Governors-at-Large
