The Academy Re-Elects Producer Lynette Howell Taylor as Its President
The Board also elected six officers for 2026-2027, including one first-time officer, as the Academy moves toward its 100th anniversary.
- On Wednesday, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences board of governors re-elected Lynette Howell Taylor to a second consecutive term as president as the organization moves toward its 100th anniversary.
- Although term limits typically require governors to step away after six consecutive years, the board recently passed a bylaw amendment allowing sitting presidents to serve up to four consecutive one-year terms, meaning Howell Taylor remains an 'ex oficio governor.'

- Academy CEO Bill Kramer praised the leadership team's ongoing commitment to the organization, stating, 'I am excited to continue our vital work with the Board.'
