AES Executive Director

Harper

The AES is delighted to welcome Colleen Harper as its new Executive Director, effective January 21. Most recently Chief Operating Officer and Interim Chief Executive Officer for the American Society for Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN), Harper notably led the implementation of strategic goals to drive both short- and long-term growth and sustainability for the $6M organization. Her responsibilities encompassed organizational budgeting, managing ASPEN's signature annual conference, and leading the expansion and enhancement of membership service and growth, exemplifying her talent and capabilities.

Colleen offers a warm greeting to AES members: "I feel honored to be joining AES as Executive Director, as well as incredibly motivated and excited to make a difference. The organization's rich history provides an excellent foundation, and AES continues to stand strong today because of the passion and dedication of its members, volunteers, and staff. It is such a special community. I had the great fortune of attending the fall convention in New York last October and felt an amazing energy that is truly unique to the organization. I met a number of people who told me about the importance of AES to their career... to their students... to the broader audio industry. Whether we are pursuing opportunities or tackling the challenges ahead, I assure you that we will always keep our most important asset in mind: YOU, our members. Over the course of the next year, I hope you will contact me with your questions, concerns, and suggestions at [email protected]. I have no doubt that, together, we will take AES to new heights. And I will look forward to meeting you at an upcoming AES event!"

President's Message

Later she explains: "Times change and new technologies arise - AES is on top of it. Our range of disciplines and expertise is rapidly growing and expanding into new fields, like audio for electronic games, automotive audio technology, immersive sound, audio for VR and AR, internet-based audio, digital audio networking and many more emerging applications that are adding to the diversity of options for those individuals interested in professional audio as a career."
