Diversity

The Diversity Committee, headed up by me and Ray Benitez, has had a productive 24 months. In the fall of 2015, the committee commenced working with the diversity staff of CBS in New York in an effort to showcase Atlanta’s local talent. A year later, CBS held auditions for markets outside of Los Angeles and New York, Atlanta primary among them. 

The Diversity Committee brought to light unethical work practices that garnered national attention. They have collaborated with producers to create more opportunities for members and, most importantly, they worked with the National Diversity Committee to unionize Telemundo performers, which will impact Spanish-speaking actors working in the United States for years to come.
