Blame Twilight. Young blood was the order of the day when the Assn. of Accredited Advertising Agencies of the Philippines, governing body for the local industry, chose its 2009 Board of Directors.
Elected at DDB’s spanking-new digs in McKinley Hill, this year’s Board includes many first-timers. Freed from the Board for the first time in years (thanks to term limits) was the election’s hostess, DDB boss lady and 4As stalwart Susan Dimacali. There’s no shortage of issues for the new Board to tackle. Where will they start? “The first order of the day is to get organized properly,” according to new Chairman Nandy Villar. “Most of the Board members are new – a very good thing, to bring in young blood and develop the next set of industry leaders. But there are a number of good things that the previous Board started which we intend to continue.”
