ART LYNCH TO THE NATIONAL BOARD.

There have been inferences that I am not an actor, that I do not have the national experience (Chicago, LA, and other markets) that I do have, and that I am not qualified for an office I now hold.
I have major training and experience as an actor.
I meet as an equal with fellow board members, management and others in the industry. I understand the industry.
As your national board member I have achieved great things for Nevada and the membership.
I am an actor.
I have worked great opera houses and tiny basement theatres, large budget films and small independents, commercials and industrials as an actor, voice actor and as background.
I am an actor who knows that SAG is a union and that it is vital for members, the profession and for Nevada.
Not everyone receives a standing ovation from those who represent the branches in the big room. I have.
I fight for Nevada, Nevada's membership and I am in a position, as regional and national leadership, to be listened to and to work for and protect our branch.
Hard for me to write this since I prefer my light be kept under a bushel. After all, it is the membership that counts and the membership I represent. I am not out for self gain, ego or the false perception of advancement. I am out to continue to fight for Nevada and for our membership.
I am asking you to call and in every other way you can generate votes for my candidacy for returning to the National Board. It is very important for Nevada (although my wife Laura would be happy either way, as the Guild takes up ten to as much as thirty hours a week of unpaid work….worth every second!).
I am an active board member as any of the people below will testify, effective for Nevada and the membership. My local and national support goes well beyond the list below, to include current and past presidents, board members, leadership, executives and those with the power to make a difference.
I work with others to gain for all members, including the only expansions of background zones during the last three contracts, landing a local boots on the ground executive in Nevada, attracting production under multiple contracts that hire my fellow actors, and all without personal gain or illusion of gain. It is for unionism and our membership.
I am a classically trained actor with hundreds of theater, film and audio roles, from Chicago to California, Wyoming to Nevada. I worked with the stars of film, television, stage and opera. I was a proud member of both SAG and SEG when SAG was forced to absorb the Screen Extras Guild. I met my opponent when he was still non-union as a background artist. I teach acting and have taught acting for over 20 years, and have coached my entire life.
My friends and actors I have worked with, not rubbed elbows with but actually worked with, are on Broadway and in San Francisco, Los Angeles and Chicago and every city in between.
This helps greatly in gaining the best for Nevada in the board room.
I am asking of your vote and the votes of anyone else you pass this message on to.
Feel free to call any national board member, current or past, for honest feedback on who I am and what I do.
