SAG-AFTRA Executive Director DAVID WHITE has inked a new four-year contract to continue as the head of the union. The SAG-AFTRA National Board approved the deal, which expires OCTOBER 12th, on SUNDAY. WHITE was a candidate to take over as the leader of the NBA Players Association before MICHELLE ROBERTS was named to that post in JULY.
WHITE said, “This job presents new challenges every day and I am thrilled to continue in my role at SAG-AFTRA. I want to thank President HOWARD, our elected officers and national board members for their confidence in me. It’s an honor to represent SAG-AFTRA members and I look forward to continuing the great work we have accomplished to date.”
SAG-AFTRA President KEN HOWARD said, “I’m so pleased that we were able to secure a long-term commitment from DAVID. He is a formidable strategic thinker and an outstanding executive. DAVID is equally committed to wisely shepherding our operations and to ensuring good wages and safe working conditions for our members. We are lucky to have him and know we will continue to benefit from his leadership.”
