I would like to thank Karen Bassett, outgoing Atlantic Representative, for encouraging me to run.
I’m a union guy. I became an Equity member a decade ago and have become increasingly aware of, and impressed with, the benefits and services our Association can offer. I also proudly maintain memberships in both ACTRA and TWUC and wouldn’t have it any other way.
As your Equity representative, I will help continue the excellent work that is being done on building diversity and inclusion, on creating safe and respectful workplaces, and, as well, on educating those entering our industry on how important Equity membership is to building a professional career. I will also eagerly join in the work of protecting the gains we’ve made for cultural workers, maintaining and increasing benefits, and creating good working conditions that will keep up with the times.
I have served consecutive three-year terms on two national organizations, so I know what it is to make a long-term commitment to furthering the aims and doing the important work of an organization of national scope like ours.
I want to learn more about our organization, the needs of our members, and how I can be of service to both.
