4 S P R I N G 2 0 1 7 C A S Q U A R T E R L Y Dear Friends, It was with great joy and pride that I stood onstage at the Omni with John Debney and Seth MacFarlane to present this year's Filmmaker Award to Jon Favreau. It made me think of the awards events I have been to and participated in over the years and the breadth and depth of extraordinary talent we have celebrated. This year being no exception! While the organization was sad to leave behind the beautiful Biltmore Hotel, it was truly incredible to see how the CAS had outgrown the Crystal Ballroom and settled into our new location at the Omni Los Angeles Hotel. This growth has seen the inclusion of many new members and the increased profile of our events throughout the calendar year. I personally feel the commitment shown by the Board and volunteers demonstrates the outstanding ability we have as a community to look to the future. One special point of pride for our Board of Directors was the presen- tation of the third Student Recognition Award. As Franklin D. Roosevelt famously said, "We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future." The future of our industry lies in the hands of our current students and we couldn't have been happier than to have awarded Wenrui "Sam" Fan this year's accolade. With consideration of the international interest generated by this award, we have revised our SRA year to fall more in line with current term dates and have now opened the application period to include the end of the previous school year. The opening of the Student Recognition Award submissions for the 54th Annual Cinema Audio Society Awards on February 24, 2018, marks the start of a new and exciting year ahead where we look forward to more advances in technology, continued support of and from our colleagues and the possibilities of creative growth for all.
