ALCS resignation

From the WGGB office:

Gail Renard, Chair of the Guild's TV Committee, has resigned from the Authors’ Licensing and Collecting Society (ALCS) Board.

Having served as one of the Guild's nominated Directors for four years, Gail was elected to the ALCS Board in January 2008 with 1750 votes, the second highest vote out of 17 candidates.

The Guild supports Gail's decision and thanks her for all her work on behalf of all writers. We hope that ALCS will address the concerns she raised relating to writers in the broadcast media.
