The American Cinema Editors has elected Oscar-winning editor Alan Heim as its new president. Heim, whose editing credits include All That Jazz, Network and, most recently, this summer's The Notebook, was handpicked by ACE members for a two-year term. He takes the reins from outgoing president Tina Hirsch, who served the maximum two terms and was subsequently elected to serve on the ACE board. Christopher Cooke (ABC's Threat Matrix) was re-elected secretary, having served in that position since 1998. It is a berth that can be held indefinitely. Newly elected board members include Lillian Benson, Edgar Burcksen, who serves as editor of ACE's Cinema Editor magazine, Allan Holzman, Randy Roberts and Rick Shaine. They join Stephen Lovejoy, Martin Nicholson, Ted Rich and Eric Sears. Elected to the associate board of directors are Claudia Finkle, Harry Miller and Stan Salfas. Michael Tronick, who is cutting Mr. and Mrs. Smith, was elected vp in the 2003 election and is midway through a two-year term. ACE is an honorary society of motion picture editors founded in 1950. The organization will hold its 55th annual ACE Eddies awards gala in the winter.
