December 15 Deadline: Referendum and Area Committee Election

Published December 14, 2021   |  By Musical Artists  |  Post in All Areas

Today AGMA members in good standing received an email reminder regarding Area Committee Elections and the non-binding referendum vote. The deadline is tomorrow, December 15, by 6:00 p.m. ET.

Of the nine AGMA Areas, two resulted in contested races: New York and Southern California. As a result, these two Areas received a ballot to vote on their contested seats on December 8. The remaining seven AGMA Areas had no contested races for seats. So, those who self-nominated within those seven areas have been automatically elected to the Area Committee without the need for a vote! Members in good standing of the Mid & South Atlantic, Midwest, New England, Northwest, Pennsylvania, San Francisco, and Southern Central Areas received emails with their election results on December 8.

Full Area Committee rosters will be published across AGMA’s platforms on or around December 17.

In addition, a non-binding referendum vote of all AGMA members in good standing is being conducted to understand whether AGMA's membership wants AGMA to make political endorsements in future elections that might have a significant impact on workers, unions, artists, or the arts. AGMA members are encouraged to vote on the referendum question included in their Area Committee emails.

Any members in good standing who did not receive this email, please contact elections@musicalartists.org.
