DFW Members Celebrate SAG Awards

Members of the Dallas-Fort Worth Local recently gathered with friends and family to celebrate and watch the 29th Annual SAG Awards in Dallas. The party was held at Dave & Buster’s and provided members with a long-awaited opportunity to gather in person for the first time since 2020. 

We owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to our SAG Awards Party Committee members who worked to put together a wonderful event and set up the venue with lovely SAG-AFTRA swag bags, treats and decor. The staff at Dave & Buster’s took great care of us, and the venue made for an exciting environment. We believe a few people even stuck around after the show to play video games.

The in-person gathering gave us an opportunity to introduce our new local president, Nikki Dixon. Dixon was appointed to replace our longtime president, Brent Anderson, who recently stepped down at our last board meeting. Dixon most recently served as the DFW Local’s 1st vice president and has been deeply involved in the union for some time. Anderson will continue to serve as Local Board member. We also announced the appointment of Local Board member Nicole Hodges to the position of 1st vice president.

The DFW Local Board is busy working to plan more events and looking for ways to help serve the membership now that our office has officially reopened and we’re able to conduct regular in-person meetings. Whether you were able to attend the SAG awards party or not, please drop us a line and let us know what kind of activities you would like to see from YOUR local union. We’re serious about making sure our members from the DFW area to Little Rock, Oklahoma City, and everywhere in between get to experience all the wonderful benefits and camaraderie that comes with being a member of SAG-AFTRA.

Thanks to everyone who came out and made this year’s SAG Awards party one to remember. There was a tremendous amount of energy in the room and several new faces we were excited to see. We look forward to seeing you all more often as we offer in-person events this year and ramp up member engagement activities.
