Annual General Reports 2012 President’s Report Following our call for nominations this past year for elected positions on our Board of Directors with Office, none were received and the current executive has agreed to serve for another year. Meeting the demands of being a part of the CSC executive requires a good deal of time and effort. I would like to express my thanks and appreciation to all the members of the Board of Directors for their continuing dedication and hard work. Our auditors for this year are Bob Bocking csc and John Hodgson. There were a couple of notable changes on the CSC Board of Directors in 2012. Longtime CSC member Nikos Evdemon csc decided to take life a bit easier and resigned as our publicity cochair. Nikos was a highly valued member of our executive having brought the CSC into the digital age by designing, building and for years maintaining the Society’s web site. Nikos is a Fuji award recipient for his efforts and dedication to the CSC. The Executive was sorry to see him go, and I for one will miss his advice, guidance and hard work. Our other publicity co-chair, Sarah Moffat, also stepped down from the executive to focus more directly on her career goals.
While she may no longer be a sitting board member, Sarah remains very active in our Society and is currently working with our co-vice presidents Ron Stannett csc and Carolyn Wong on an upcoming CSC lecture series. Filling the vacancy as our new publicity chair is Carlos Esteves csc. Carlos has been very active on our board for the past year as a Director Ex-officio and has been a member of the CSC for 25 years. An accomplished award-winning cinematographer, Carlos has been a welcome addition to the CSC executive. Also joining the CSC executive as a Director Ex-officio is Vic Sarin csc. A cinematographer, a director and a producer, Vic has been a dynamic force in our film and television industry for decades. Based in Vancouver, Vic participates in our executive meeting via Skype. Besides his invaluable experience and perspectives, Vic brings an important West Coast view and representation to our meetings. In keeping with our national mandate, we are still hoping to garner candidates for our executive board from Quebec and the east coast. We encourage any member from those areas or any other area in Canada to apply. Canadian Cinematographer - March 2013 •
