The Academy’s board has re-elected producer Lynette Howell Taylor as president for the 2026-27 cycle.
Howell Taylor goes into her second term as president. Sitting presidents may run for re-election until they have served up to four consecutive one-year terms in the role, even if they would normally be required to take a two-year hiatus after serving two governor terms.
Since she has served two governor terms, Howell Taylor will serve as an ex officio voting member of the board until the completion of her term as president.
Five members were elected to 2026-27 officer positions including Lesley Barber (music branch), vice president (chair, membership committee); and David Dinerstein (marketing and public relations branch), vice president/treasurer (chair, finance committee).
The other three are Jennifer Fox (producers branch), vice president (chair, awards committee); Lou Diamond Phillips (actors branch), vice president (chair, equity and inclusion committee); and Howard A. Rodman (writers branch), vice president/secretary (chair, governance committee).
Barber, Fox, Phillips and Rodman were re-elected as officers. This will be the first officer role for Dinerstein.
