A Message from the Local Conservatory Chair

Dear SAG-AFTRA Washington-Mid Atlantic Brothers and Sisters,

I’ve enjoyed my five-year tenure as conservatory chair and want to thank all the presenters, coordinators, participants, and staff members who supported the conservatory and continue to make it a reality. 

I’m very happy to announce that the new chair of the SAG-AFTRA Conservatory Committee is Kathryn Klvana. 

Many of you already know Kathryn as a talented, award-winning voiceover and on-camera performer. But you should also know of her behind-the-scenes service to union members, including as delegate to the AFTRA National Convention, member of the SAG-AFTRA Local Executive Board and co-chair of our Freelance Committee. Kathryn is also a longtime member of the Conservatory Committee, and has both coordinated and led conservatory workshops.         

Given her extensive background and strong work ethic, Kathryn will bring innovative ideas to the conservatory and we’re all the beneficiaries of her time and talents.

Thank you again and congratulations to Kathryn Klvana!

In solidarity,

Don Hagen  

Conservatory Chair, SAG-AFTRA Washington-Mid Atlantic Local
