2010 ACA board announced
The new board of directors for the Association for Communication and Advertising (ACA) was announced at the 2009 AGM held earlier this week in Johannesburg. The new board will once again be chaired by Reinher Behrens.
In his 2009 chairperson's report, Behrens highlighted some of the association's achievements of the past year. “2009 has undoubtedly been the toughest yet most successful year for the ACA. The year kicked off with the alcohol advertising debate, proposed regulations from ICASA, a brand new corporate identity for the ACA, a fresh new website and of course, the now annual APEX Awards,” said Behrens.
