SAG-AFTRA President and EVP Visit Local

On Monday, May 2, the Washington-Mid Atlantic Local welcomed SAG-AFTRA President Gabrielle Carteris and National Executive Vice President Rebecca Damon as guest speakers for our membership meeting. 

The National Board elected Carteris president of SAG-AFTRA following the death of Ken Howard on March 23. The board also elected Rebecca Damon as executive vice president.

The meeting began with a video presentation honoring the life and legacy of Howard, along with another video presentation from Carteris about her vision for the future. Topics included an upcoming rollout of a SAG-AFTRA mobile app for members, upcoming outreach programs, organizing initiatives and updates about the President’s Task Force on Education, Outreach and Engagement.
