The AES Welcomes Glenn Lorbecki to the Position of Treasurer Audio Engineering Society president Agnieszka Roginska announces that Glenn Lorbecki has agreed to serve as the society's treasurer, effective February 16. "Glenn Lorbecki has steadfastly served the AES on our financial planning committee for several years," said Roginska. "His service has been exemplary and is evidenced by numerous refinements in the AES's financial workflow and reporting. He assumes the role of treasurer with an intimate knowledge of the society's finances and we are delighted that he has once again stepped forward to share his expertise." Lorbecki is replacing Richard Wollrich, who has resigned as AES treasurer. "On behalf of the entire AES, I want to thank Richard Wollrich for his dedicated service to the society," said Roginska. "The time and energy he gave to the AES in the capacity of treasurer was simply extraordinary. He pushed us to implement new processes and procedures, instituted robust registration tracking and data analysis, and brought an expanded level of corporate knowledge to the position. We are very grateful." The AES board of directors voted unanimously to approve Lorbecki's appointment. He will serve as treasurer through the 2020 election and one-year term of office of a treasurer-elect. Lorbecki joined the AES in 1988 and has served as a member of the financial planning committee since 2015, most recently as chair of the FPC. His expertise in fiscal management stems from his 20-plus years' business experience as president of the recording/video post-production company Glenn Sound, Inc., and his service since 1999 to the Recording Academy as PNW chapter president, as a member of TV and technology committees, as co-chair (with Bob Ludwig) of the producers and engineers wing and as national secretary/treasurer for four years. As chair of the Recording Academy finance committee, he led oversight of the Grammy parent company from budgeting to audits, business development, compensation, legal issues, growth planning, real estate acquisition, charitable giving, and the sustained growth of their endowment fund. A producer, engineer, composer, musician, studio owner, and educator, Lorbecki established his career with such diverse artists as the Violent Femmes, Dizzy Gillespie, Dr. John, the White Stripes, Dave Matthews, Regina Spektor, Green Day, Weezer, and Coldplay. Collaborations with MTV, Clear Channel, CBS, PBS, ABC, etc. have yielded numerous features, live-in-the-studio recordings, film scores, and game soundtracks. He is part of the Emmy and TEC award-winning Grammy telecast audio team on CBS, and his work is on permanent exhibit at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles.
