The Hollywood representatives on SAG’s national board voted Monday night to remove former vice president Robert Carlson as a trustee of the guild’s pension and health plan, sources told The Hollywood Reporter. The action was taken in executive session by an overwhelming voice vote, with many board members citing recent actions by Carlson that they said exposed the P&H plan to liability, breached its confidentiality and impugned the honesty of most of the other guild-appointed trustees. A small number of board members opposed the decision. The removal is effective immediately. There’s a mandatory 21 day waiting period before a

SAG yesterday released the official list of candidates for its upcoming national board elections. Notably, all of the open seats in La (the Hollywood Division) are held by MembershipFirst members, which means that, as was the case last year, Mf can at best maintain its level of representation on the national board. More likely, it will lose some of its board seats.
On the Hollywood divisional board, Mf could gain or lose, as all division seats are up every year. This contrasts with the national board, where approximately 1/3 of the 69 seats are up in any given year. The president and secretary-treasurer, who are ex officio members of the board, have two-year terms, and are not up for election this year.
Ballots in Hollywood and New York will be mailed on August 24 with a return deadline and tabulation on September 23. Election results are expected to be announced that evening.
