&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;After serving as the President for 10+ years, Al passed the torch in 2007 to now President Peter Hordylan.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;Peter has spent the majority of his career as a freelance television editor. Both offline and online editing, he honed his skills on Avid Non-linear editing equipment including Avid Xpress DV, Media Composer &amp;amp; Symphony. Never shying away from other projects or challenges, Peter continues to edit and has developed his own style of directing. Peter is currently the Supervising Editor position of a&amp;nbsp;very large&amp;nbsp;reality television series in Canada.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;Peter has brought a fresh feel to the group along with very ambitious plans for the future.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The latest meeting was held at the Royal Theatre with over 300 attendees.&lt;span style="mso-spacerun:yes;"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;The group&amp;rsquo;s success is based on the enthusiasm of the Toronto community and the innovative editing panel discussions such as Drama in editing, Editing for a Reality show, and editing a TV comedy show.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
