February 3, 2025 – Today, AGMA kicks off our 2025 Board of Governors Election! We encourage members to run for office if they want to help shape AGMA’s future.
The necessary information, deadline dates, forms, and documents members will need are all in one place on AGMA’s 2025 National Election Page, located behind the MyAGMA Portal. To access the page, log in to MyAGMA and select “2025 AGMA National Election” from the MyAGMA dropdown menu.
AGMA is a democratic union, and the decision-making body of the Union is the AGMA Board of Governors, comprised of National Officers and Governors. The Board of Governors is an all-volunteer group of AGMA members from different Employment Categories and geographic Regions who meet (virtually) once a month to discuss and set AGMA policies, review and approve collective bargaining agreements, monitor the finances and operations of the Union, and deal with all matters having to do with the employment and collective well-being of the AGMA membership. In accordance with AGMA’s Constitution, this year’s election is only for Governors (Area At-Large Governors and Employment Category Governors).
The official Notice of Nomination and Election for the 2025 Election can be found here and on the 2025 National Election Page.
As a labor union, AGMA’s power comes directly from the engagement of our members. As a democratic organization, it is vital that a broad range of AGMA Artists participate in national elections, both by voting and by running for office. AGMA is your union, and the decisions made by the AGMA Artists who make up the Board of Governors largely determine its direction. Representation matters, and we strongly encourage any AGMA member who is interested in running for office, or would just like more information, to review the AGMA 2025 National Election Page beginning on February 3, 2025.
NOTE: To participate in the election – including signing nominating petitions, running for office, and voting in the election – members must be active members in good standing (paid up on dues and initiation fees or current on all payment plans). Members who are not in good standing and wish to restore their eligibility to nominate and vote in the election may do so by paying their dues arrearages, together with the reinstatement fee, on or before March 1, 2025.
