Jackson Sergeant-at-Arms Barbara Dally Business Representative Tommy Cole Official Magazine of Hollywood Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists. Published in the Interest of ALL the Members of Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists I.A.T.S.E. Local 706 To my dear Sisters and Brothers, and to everyone who enjoys our magazine—this will be my final edition at the helm of The Artisan. For those who are not aware, I am retiring at the end of the year and I will be passing the torch over to make-up artist Adam Brandy. Jeff Angell will remain onboard as the supervising editor and Daniel Curet will still be submitting articles, but from this point, your submissions should go directly to Adam. The Artisan has been a tremendous labor of love and we should all be grateful to Marvin Westmore for inaugurating it (1963?) before most of our membership was born. Please give Adam your utmost support and continue to provide our wonderful, somewhat unsophisticated, fun-to-read, informative and entertaining magazine. Adam and John Rizzo were at the helm of The Artisan about 15 years ago, so he's a natural fit. I'm very proud of what this magazine has become. When we partnered with IngleDodd Media, it became a benefit of membership in Local 706 that costs you nothing. It's the best, most influential and free PR you could ever have. Now, the studios real- ize that our little rag goes straight to 95 percent of the Motion Picture Academy, the Television Academy, and 100 percent of the MUAHS Guild Awards make-up art- ist and hair styling voters. Always know that this is your magazine, you do not need to be invited to submit articles. This magazine is to highlight the outstanding work of the members of our Guild. It's only about Local 706 artists and our productions. I wish we had more submissions from theater, commercials, daytime television and regional productions as they are all equal in membership. As I said in the previous paragraph, after 40-plus years in this business, I chose not to run for office again. I know there were many expectations, and I truly have had the most amazing support and encouragement. It has not been an easy decision, but I will step down knowing that we are no longer the bury-our-heads-in-the-sand Local we were when I became president. We have a lot to be proud of. If I were to count, I'd say we've accomplished some wonderful markers in our 81-year legacy. I'm very proud of the California Film and Television Tax Incentive that has brought so many jobs back to California. Finally achieving a 10-hour turnaround made me cry with joy. Even though it's not perfect, my friend Brent Lon Hershman, who died in 1997 while we were doing Pleasantville, would be proud. When an Inland Empire senator tried to gut the California Cosmetology Act, we stopped him cold and with that, the repercussions of what it could have done to the Roster hair stylists were averted. Currently, we are working toward a solution for the California State Disability coverage when traveling on distant locations outside California. It will be something that affects several unions, including the Teamsters and SAG/AFTRA. This February, our Make-Up Artists & Hair Stylists Guild Awards will celebrate five years, and producing the show costs our members nothing. Who would have thought we would be a precursor to the Oscars? Best of all, it's the fun awards show. Our education programs offer so much, and we have been the catalyst for other IA locals to step up and offer more to their members as well. Years ago, we had craft education meetings but that was about it. I've been fortunate to work with two Business Reps who have seen the value of expanding education, and we sincerely appreciate those who have taken advantage of this gift, both the educators and the students. We've accomplished a lot together. We've had births and deaths, celebration and mourning. I will never forget the kindness all of you showed me when my husband passed away four years ago. I will always be here for you even when I leave. My cellphone and email will work, just like yours. Sincerest congratulations to Randy Sayer, Julie Socash, John Jackson, Kim Ferry, Daniel Curet and Karen Westerfield, our new Officers. Keep a modern approach and let them stretch their wings. It took years to establish so many of the relationships—from cosmetic companies FROM THE PRESIDENT We've accomplished a lot together... I will always be here for you even when I leave.
