Union Reaches Out Through Mentorship Program

The Hollywood Reporter held its annual Power 100 Women in Entertainment breakfast at Milk Studios in Los Angeles on Dec. 5. The event celebrated the women behind the year’s most influential moments in entertainment and media. SAG-AFTRA was credited among the event’s sponsors and several members national leadership, including President Gabrielle Carteris and Secretary-Treasurer and L.A. Local President Jane Austin, in attendance.

The union also contributed gifts to participants of THR’s mentorship program. The program is a joint venture between the publication and the Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Angeles that pairs girls with women who work in the industry. The union honored the Class of 2018 with backpacks of important school materials as well as gift cards.
