The preceding three years have seen remarkable growth, expansion and progress at IATSE Local 871. The Local now has a membership numbering approximately three thousand. Two new crafts, Script Coordinators and Writers’ Assistants, have organized and been added to the list of crafts represented by Local 871 this year. The coming year projects to be another one of exciting growth and progress.
It has been an expansive and humbling experience to have served as Treasurer for Local 871 during this time and at this stage of growth within our Local. Today, having attended the IATSE’s Officers Institute as well as the union’s training for Treasurers, I am substantially better prepared to carry out the duties and responsibilities of the office. I look forward to participating in and contributing to making the coming three years among the most progressive and productive for the members of Local 871 and the IATSE. It has been an honor and a privilege to serve the membership of our local for the past three years and I hope that you allow me to do this once again for another three years.
It is in this spirit that I ask for your vote.
