The Art Directors Club (ADC), the first global creative collective of its kind and longest standing organization championing the visual arts, today announced six incoming members to its Board of Directors.
The six incoming board members are:
• Sergio Alcocer, President and CCO, LatinWorks

ADC Board of Directors will work with ADC Executive Director Ignacio Oreamuno to move the Club forward and represent its membership. The Board meets four times a year to hear and provide counsel to Oreamuno’s vision and strategy.
“The new ADC Board of Directors is stronger than ever before because the membership and the Board all agreed to move forward in growing a multidisciplinary board, said Oreamuno. “Instead of being composed of strictly advertising and design professionals, like in the past, we have now opened the door to music industry leaders, publications, public relations, talent leaders and more, who are better suited to directing, adapting and expanding the direction of the Club in the future.”
With the addition of the six new members, The ADC Board of Directors now totals 18 of the creative industry’s most brilliant and influential people, including: Benjamin Palmer, President of the Board and cofounder/CEO of The Barbarian Group; Anthony Rhodes, Executive Vice President at SVA; Brian Collins, Chairman and Chief Creative Officer at COLLINS; Steve Smith, Partner at Stephen M. Smith & Co.; Ann Harakawa, Principal/Creative Director at Two Twelve Associates; Scott Belsky, CEO and Founder of Behance LLC; Rei Inamoto, Chief Creative Officer at AKQA; Nicole Jacek, Creative Director at karlssonwiler; Rick Kurnit, Partner at Frankfurt, Kurnit, Klein & Selz; Alessandra Lariu, Co-founder of SheSays; Dany Lennon, Owner/President of The Creative Register Inc.; Noreen Morioka, Partner at AdamsMorioka; and Robert Wong, Executive Creative Director at Google Creative Lab.
The board’s varied expertise ensures that ADC’s leadership is representative of its membership, and they contribute their wisdom, resources and networks in the effort to bring ADC into a new generation; one that values human connections and networking, useful, interesting content and helpful professional resources and benefits.
