Meet Your Arizona-Utah Local Board

Joe Corcoran, Arizona-Utah Local President
“I’m a Vietnam veteran and, starting in 1980, I became a dual cardholder of both SAG and AFTRA. It was also the same year I plunged into a life of being a stand-up comic.”

Billy Holden, Vice President - Utah
“I am Billy Holden, and I am in my 40th year of being in the entertainment industry, having worked professionally in the United States and Australia.” 

Rodd Wolff, Vice President - Northern Arizona

Mike Caprio, Vice President - Southern Arizona

Linda Rae Jurgens, Secretary
“After joining SAG-AFTRA in 1978, I immersed myself in all our union offers: professionalism, performance, people, pension, pride and more. The reality of my childhood dream has given me opportunities filled with memories, challenges and insight. Thank you for allowing me the privilege of working for you and with you.”
