The Art Directors Club has elected Benjamin Palmer, CEO of digital agency The Barbarian Group, to a three-year term as its president, the nonprofit group announced Wednesday.

Palmer, a member of the ADC board since 2008, succeeds Doug Jaeger, currently co-proprietor of creative studio JaegerSloan and previously founder of the happycorp agency, which closed its doors in 2009. Jaeger, the club’s youngest president when elected in 2008, hoped to dust off the staid organization and increase its appeal to a younger crowd.
