Our Leadership Team
Officers, Executive Board & Trustees
The leadership of Motion Picture Costumers is comprised of Officers, the Executive Board, and Trustees, all of whom provide vision, guidance, and advocacy for the Local. They work tirelessly for the members so they can enjoy healthy, safe working conditions and earn fair wages for their work.
The Executive Board and Officers are responsible for the establishment of goals, direction, and long-term strategy for the Local. As the governing body, they meet monthly to enact policies to create a stronger, more effective union, and assess current progress towards those goals. Leadership opportunities extend from the Executive Board to the numerous committees, giving members the opportunity to take an active role in union governance, service projects, membership issues, political action, negotiation, and policy-making.
The general membership elects representatives to serve a three-year term on our Executive Board. Each of our 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.
