The current board members named Thomas S. L. Riebs, Aase Christiansen-Luke, and Soren Eilertsen as new members at a special meeting in June. The new board elected Soren Eilertsen as President, Thomas S. L. Riebs as Vice President, and Aase Christiansen-Luke as Secretary, with Lone Sorensen continuing in her position as Treasurer.

Soren and Aase have both served on the Board of Directors previously and Soren has previously served as President from 2006 to 2008. During his tenure as President Soren oversaw an exciting period in the organizations history, which included many successful undertakings, including Danish-American Business Summit.

Pia Munck, Rikke Christensen, Jens Bechmann, Charlotte Rubin, and Mikael Vaede have all made significant contributions and have also have promised to continue to help and support DACC.

Design v. Market – Which comes first?

An internationally successful Danish designer shares valuable insights on how his sources of inspiration, origin and background, informs the design choices he makes. And most importantly, how he manages to balance demands from the marketplace with his own creative preferences and design aesthetics.

About the speakers

Luxury car designer Henrik Fisker headed the design efforts at Aston Martin and BMW’s DesignworksUSA before venturing out on his own with Fisker Automotive. He is the man behind the streamlined looks of BMW’s Z8 model, the exclusive Aston Martin DB9 and V8 Vantage and the iconic Fisker Karma.

Push Offices is one of the hottest design agencies in Los Angeles right now. From their inception in the chaos of the 2008 financial crisis, they have managed to become an internationally renowned agency with a very innovative approach to design as well as client interaction. Representing Push Offices will be owner Eric Boisvert.
