The Academy Board of Governors confirmed Monday (May 13) the appointment of three new governors-at-large, DeVon Franklin (Executives Branch), Rodrigo García (Directors Branch), and Janet Yang (Producers Branch).

They will each serve a three-year term, beginning July 1. This furthers the Academy’s A2020 initiative, which seeks to support inclusion and increase representation within its membership and the greater film community.
