Farewell but Not Goodbye

"Congratulations to the new SAG-AFTRA Nashville Board of Directors and our new officers. Though I’m not currently serving this term, I won’t be far away," said Jim Ferguson who most recently served as national vice president, recording artists. "After serving on the AFTRA and SAG-AFTRA Local Boards for 30 years and the AFTRA and SAG-AFTRA National Boards for 27 (if memory serves me correctly), union work will be a hard habit to break, indeed. I may just show up for a cup of coffee from time to time. Seriously, I’ll do my best to be available should anyone need anything from me."

"It’s been an honor and privilege to serve our members all these years. It’s also been an honor to work with such a devoted local staff in Nashville and a great national staff, as well. I hope my small contribution has meant something in the long run for raising the level of dignity and respect that I’ve always believed union members in the performing arts are due. Best of luck to everyone in the coming months and years."

Thank you for your service, Jim!
