Negotiations with Broadway Across America continue. The committee will be meeting in early February to review the latest counteroffer from management. We are working towards making wages more competitive with other local organizations and have made great progress toward that end.
A quorum of members attended our January membership meeting. Richard Bravo, who previously served as Director, was elected by acclimation to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Chas Reskin. We welcome Richard back to the board, and thank Chas for his many years of leadership!
The members also adopted the proposed bylaw changes, which will strengthen the financial oversight of the Local as well as enable us to move into the twenty-first century with electronic payments of bills. Thanks to all of the members who attended the meeting and voiced their thoughts! We also had discussions about our venue database and an update on the upcoming Local 655 podcast.
