GENERAL SECRETARY-TREASURER’S MESSAGE Many Thanks This issue of the Official Bulletin focuses on the recently concluded 68th Quadrennial Convention held in Hollywood, Florida. As such, it presents an opportunity for me to express my sincerest appreciation for the efforts and achievements of those who helped make our Convention such a tremendous success. JAMES B. WOOD While thanks are due to a great many people, I would particularly like to express my gratitude to the staff of the IATSE General Office for their hard work and dedication throughout the many long months of preparation. Many staff members are asked to take on many additional tasks while still performing their regular duties. In addition, those staff members that traveled to Florida and left behind their families for over two weeks to provide front-line assistance to officers and delegates deserve special recognition for the dedication that they demonstrated. The extraordinary hospitality of the Host Locals, 161, 477, 500, 600, 700, 798, 800 and USA829 was much in evidence. Delegates, staff and guests were all made most welcome by our Host Locals and I know that they were all very appreciative. It was also a pleasure to see the IATSE’s extended family of organizations at the Convention. In all there were a total of 20 exhibitors present outside of the convention hall. Based on the crowds gathered around each booth, the delegates appreciated those exhibitors taking the time to be with us. The members of the Credentials Committee ensured that delegate registration was a smooth and orderly process. It is no easy task to accommodate many last-minute changes and get so many delegates registered in a timely manner, but this team did it with efficiency and grace. In the end, they registered 871 delegates, the largest number to ever attend an IA Convention. I also need to recognize the Local 500 stagehands, members working under Pink Contracts and International Representatives for the work that they did setting up the convention and providing the delegates with a convention experience that far surpassed anything we have previously done. Finally, thank you to the delegates for the support you gave me personally and for your commitment and participation in the supreme governing body of the IATSE. This was the 10th IATSE Convention that I have attended and my 4th Convention as General Secretary-Treasurer. As I said during my acceptance speech, the delegates in Hollywood were dedicated and hard working and it was the most unified feeling that I have ever experienced at a convention. The delegates were clearly committed to moving our union forward and as we continue to work together over the next four years we will do just that. WWW.IATSE.NET THIRD QUARTER 2017 7
