C A S Q U A R T E R L Y I W I N T E R 2 0 2 3 9 Hello Friends, The holiday season is here, and awards season is swiftly approaching. Your Board, awards committee, and staff are moving into full gear with the planning and preparation of a wonderful evening to celebrate you. In this issue, among many other interesting features, we have included a "CAS Event Wrap Up" of events and activities we have participated in since our last issue of the CAS Quarterly. Please keep your eyes on your inboxes and on our social media channels to learn about soon-to-be-announced member exclusive and co-produced events created to benefit the sound community. There are many fun adventures coming your way. The 59th CAS Awards will be held March 4, 2023, at the InterContinental Downtown in the Wilshire Ballroom. It promises to be an incredible night of fellowship. We are accepting submissions until December 8th!! Your membership includes two submissions and discounted additional entries. Please consider submitting your work for our awards. It is my sincere pleasure to announce our Career Achievement recipient, production mixer Peter J. Devlin CAS. Peter is an exceptional talent with a large breadth of work (Transformers, Star Trek, and Black Panther). But perhaps even more inspiring is that he enjoys great success and excels in his field all while remaining a true citizen of the community. He embodies the spirit of our organization, having served as a member of our Board, moderator, panelist, originator, and frequent host of our In Conversation podcast. He is also an invaluable contributor to our initiative and service as a professional society. We would simply not be the same organization without him. Peter also currently serves on the Board of Governors for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. If you have the pleasure to meet him, please take the opportunity to congratulate our dear friend, Peter J. Devlin CAS on his honor, and thank him for his continued leadership and service. If you would like to be more involved in Cinema Audio Society, please consider reaching out to participate as a committee member or event volunteer by writing CASpresident@CinemaAudioSociety.org. Additionally, in tandem to our nomination period, it will soon be time for Board elections. I encourage you to consider serving. Serving on our volunteer-run Board of Directors requires real work and a dedication of time, but what you receive in return for your service to the community is indescribable and many of the rewards are without measure. I remain honored to serve you as your president.
