Meet Your 2015-2017 Local Board Members

National Board member (and Local Board member – Northern Arizona) Margie Ghigo

Serving as your National Board member, as well as my previous service as national vice president, National Board member and local president for AFTRA, has been an honor and responsibility that I have enjoyed for many years. With the merging of the union and closing of some local offices, it is necessary for members to increase their involvement and acknowledge responsibility for our own future. I appreciate your confidence and look forward to our union family in the Arizona-Utah Local thriving. It has been great getting to know more of you. If you would like to get more involved or have any questions, please let me know.

President - Joe Corcoran

I have been a proud member of AFTRA and SAG since 1979 and am the current president of our Arizona-Utah Local Board. In the past, I have served as a member at large and as local president for AFTRA. Despite no longer having local staff or an office, we are, out of necessity, moving forward and gaining momentum due to the dedication, energy and hard work of my fellow board members. 

I encourage our entire Arizona-Utah membership to not only reach out and engage with the board, but also with your fellow members. Communication and your participation can’t help but to make us vital, viable and valued.

Vice President – Northern Arizona Rodd Wolff

I have served on the union’s board since 1975. I am the chair for Stunt & Safety for the local, and am also a member on the National Stunt & Safety Committee. In 2002, I was inducted into the Stuntman’s Hall of Fame.

 
Secretary - Linda Rae Jurgens

A childhood wish come true, I have carried my SAG-AFTRA card/membership since 1978, and I am so thankful all this came to pass. I have been blessed with a good resume and wonderful friends in the industry. I have served on the SAG and SAG-AFTRA Boards on and off for many years and truly enjoy my current role as secretary for Arizona-Utah Local. God bless.  

 
Member at Large – Joey Evans

I earned my SAG card in Dallas in 1974. Being a union member has been very special to me ever since. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to be a board member of the Arizona-Utah Local. I have been very involved in the planning of the SAG Awards party in Phoenix. I will work hard to get new members and more union work here in Arizona. We have a great union and a great state to work in.

 
Member at Large – Nancy Hall

In 1987 I became a member of Screen Actors Guild, an incredibly important milestone in my life. I currently serve as member at large and am honored to serve alongside other dedicated members. Thank you for this opportunity.

 
Member at Large – Stan Kansas 

I have been a member of SAG since 1998 and I am delighted to be serving SAG-AFTRA.

Member at Large – Kyle Marsh

I have been a SAG and SAG-AFTRA member since 1990. I have served on the SAG and SAG-AFTRA Board for most of the time I have been a member. I am also a convention delegate for SAG-AFTRA. Since the merger, there have been a lot of changes in our union. All of us on the Local Board would like to see more of our members get involved. We look forward to hearing from you. 

Local Board Member – Southern Arizona – Grant Wheeler

I joined SAG in 1980 and got my first speaking role in a film when I performed in the movie Flashpoint. Following that, I was an actor, stunt performer or stunt coordinator in many movies (a number of them were Westerns) and national commercials. I received my AFTRA card when I went to New York and landed a short role in One Life to Live. I am honored to serve as a board member.
