Overview

• The AMPAS Board of Governors voted Taylor in to succeed Janet Yang, who stepped down after reaching her three-year board term limit
• Governors face two consecutive three-year term caps, meaning Taylor’s presidency will last only one year despite a four-term allowance
• An Academy member since 2014, Taylor has produced over 25 films and held roles as vice president and awards committee chair, including co-producing the 92nd Oscars broadcast
• Five vice presidents were elected to lead key committees: Lesley Barber on membership, Howard A. Rodman on governance, Jennifer Fox on awards, Simon Kilmurry on finance and Lou Diamond Phillips on equity and inclusion
• Taylor becomes the 38th president and the fifth woman to lead the Academy, continuing a trend of increased female representation in its top ranks
