Engagement Was the Theme at the Utah Member Meeting

Engagement was the theme at the Arizona-Utah membership meeting in Salt Lake City, Utah, on March 19. The featured speaker was Dan Navarro, SAG-AFTRA vice president, recording artists, and a member of the President’s Task Force on Education, Outreach and Engagement (PTEOE). Other travelers who joined him were Arizona-Utah Local President Joe Corcoran, Arizona-Utah’s National Board member Margie Ghigo, and SAG-AFTRA staff members Cynthia Williams, the regional education and outreach liaison, and Marcia Fishman, the director of locals administration.

With the array of speakers backing Dan, he discussed how the state of a performer’s relationship with their union depends on them. He offered anecdotes from his PTEOE travels and personal experiences, and he listened to the concerns of the others. Joe Corcoran and Margie cited positive experiences in Phoenix and described how they, as members, have taken on their own destiny.
