Our Leadership Team

Executive Board

Advocates passionately for its members so they can enjoy healthy, safe working conditions and earn fair wages for their work.

The leadership of the Motion Picture Costumers, IATSE Local 705, affiliated with IATSE under the auspices of the AFL-CIO, advocates passionately for its members so they can enjoy healthy, safe working conditions and earn fair wages for their work. Board members also spearhead our community outreach efforts and internal decision-making concerning membership groups, policies and anything else relevant to our Union. Leadership opportunities extend from the Executive Board to the numerous committees that give members the opportunity to take an active role in union governance, service projects, membership issues, political action, negotiation, technology and policy-making.

The general membership elects representatives to serve a three-year term on our Executive Board. Each of our six membership groups is represented on the board, which meets once a month. The board leadership also works with our committees to determine what charities and other community resources we will work with in our outreach efforts.
