Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs also wrote about a new communications strategy to unify the Academy’s global brand in the report.
“As we expand the scope of our presence around the world,it’s more important than ever that the Academy speaks with one voice. So we have implemented a communications strategy that includes a new look and logo to convey the importance of our year-round Academy programs. It is designed to help us tell our story in a consistent and easily recognizable way,” Isaacs wrote.
