From the President Dear Academy Member, My second year as President of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was as exciting as my first. I am deeply honored to serve the membership and to have been re-elected by the Board for a third year. This past year saw a packed calendar of exhibitions and programs, significant advances in our preservation work (for both film and digital), continued global and educational outreach, and great achievements by the Science and Technology Council in bringing long-term initiatives to fruition. The telecast of the 83rd Academy Awards was an incredible ride, as always. During the show, I had the pleasure of announcing (along with Anne Sweeney, President of Disney/ABC Television Group) that we have extended our agreement to broadcast the Oscars on ABC through the year 2020. It was as extraordinary a time as ever to be part of the Academy– for the membership, the leadership and the staff. With the close of the fiscal year, we marked an even greater ending, and also the beginning of a new era. After 30 years of service to the Academy, Bruce Davis retired from his position as executive director, a post he held for two decades. Bruce’s leader- ship on many fronts – including the establishment of the Margaret Herrick Library in its current home and the creation of the Academy Film Archive – has ensured that the Academy Officers 2010–2011 Third Row: Not pictured: safeguarding of our industry’s legacy will forever be a part of his own. 2010–2011 Board Of Governors Jeffrey Kurland John Bailey Tom Sherak, President Front Row: Kathryn Bigelow Ed Begley Jr. Sid Ganis, First Vice President Annette Bening Bill Kroyer Rosemary Brandenburg On July 1st, Bruce passed the mantle to Dawn Hudson, our new CEO, and to James L.
