MUMBAI: Roberta Reardon was unanimously re-elected for a second two-year term as national president of the American Federation of Television & Radio Artists (AFTRA) at the union‘s biennial national convention in Chicago last Saturday.
All revenue raised as a result of the fee increase has been exclusively designated for organising efforts to increase employment opportunities for union performers and broadcasters.
The three-day 62nd National Convention, held at the Hyatt Regency, also saw the re-election of national first vp Bob Edwards, a satellite radio host from Washington; second national vp Ron Morgan, an actor from Los Angeles; national treasurer Matt Kimbrough, a Los Angeles actor; and national recording secretary Lainie Cooke, a New York actor.
All officers serve two-year terms. AFTRA‘s next national convention will be held in 2011 in Seattle, followed by Washington in 2013.
