The 2008 Academy of Television Arts & Sciences’ Board of Governors will begin its term January 1. A list of members—both continuing and newly elected—is included below.
Two peer groups—Daytime Programming and Television Executives—are still in the process of completing their elections. Their new governors will be announced when winners have been identified.
The new members of the Television Academy’s Executive Committee, which will be headed by chairman-elect John Shaffner, were announced last month, and may be viewed here.
Photographs and brief biographies of the new board will be available on the Television Academy website in January.
