Gallegos on 4A’s Board

The 4A’s announced its 2014-2015 Board of Directors and Board Officers, following its Board of Directors’ meeting in New York.  The officers, directors-at-large and regional representatives make up a 27-member Board that represents agencies of varying sizes throughout the United States.

Bill Koenigsberg, president, CEO and founder, Horizon Media, is the new board chair elected to a two-year term. He is the first chairman from a media agency to head the 4A’s board. For the past year, Bill has served as vice-chairman working with Momentum Chairman and CEO Chris Weil, who concludes his two-year board chairmanship and will now serve as immediate past chair for one year.  

“I’m honored for the opportunity to lead the 4A’s Board of Directors as Chairman,” said Bill Koenigsberg. “With so much change, the opportunity for the 4A’s and my fellow board members to help shape the future of marketing has never been bigger. It’s also time to empower our industry’s young talent with a platform to facilitate change not only within our industry but for the greater good.”

Nancy Hill, President-CEO, 4A’s said, “I look forward to working with Bill and the other board members to guide and shape our association so that it remains relevant and stays ahead of the curve on the critical issues for the industry.”
