President Tret Fure, Canadian Vice President Eve Goldberg, and member John O’Connor represented Local 1000 at the AFM Convention in Las Vegas a few weeks ago. It was a busy week with much to report.
We had a number of conversations with members of other Canadian locals and we hope the dialogue that is opening up will facilitate better communication and understanding between Local 1000 and the Canadian Conference. Eve was invited to make a presentation at a future board meeting of the Canadian Conference. Click here for a full report on progress around Canadian issues from Canadian VP Eve Goldberg.
All three delegates also participated in meetings of the organizing committee, which our own John O’Connor chairs. It was exciting to hear about activity going on in different parts of the country and to know that we are part of a larger movement within the AFM to bring in new members and address concerns of musicians who haven’t traditionally joined the AFM. John O’Connor’s report as chair of the organizing committee can be read here.
