SAG-AFTRA DELEGATION ATTENDS FIA MEETINGS A SAG-AFTRA delegation led by President Ken Howard attended the yearly International Federation of Actors (FIA) Executive Committee meeting in Paris in September. FIA is a global federation founded in 1952 that consists of trade unions, guilds and professional organizations that represent hundreds of thousands of performers. Some 90 member organizations from more than 60 countries are members of the organization, which acts as a global voice in the professional interests of actors in film, television, radio, digital media, theater and live performance, as well as broadcast professionals, dancers, singers and variety artists. Representing SAG-AFTRA with Howard were National Executive Director David White, Associate National Executive Director Mathis Dunn, Chief Operating Officer & General Counsel Duncan Crabtree-Ireland, Senior Advisor John McGuire, and Chief Communications & Marketing Officer Pamela Greenwalt. At the 2014 executive meeting, the FIA executive committee focused on a variety of issues and initiatives, including an update on the World Intellectual Property Organization's 2012 Beijing Treaty on Audiovisual Performances, which brings audiovisual performers into the fold of the international copyright framework for the first time. Executive committee members also received an overview of collective rights management and national models, which included a presentation by Crabtree-Ireland, as well as reports on LGBT and diversity and a child performers best practices manual, among other topics.
