Wilbur Fitzgerald, SAG Georgia Branch President

I am committed to serving my unions which have provided immeasurable benefits and protections to me during my 28 years of membership in SAG and AFTRA. During my dual career as an attorney and actor in Georgia, I have acted in scores of feature films and television shows as well as countless television commercials, voice overs, and industrial films. I continue to serve as a leader in the Georgia production community to implement innovative strategies for robust growth in our entertainment industry.

Debra Nelson, SAG Georgia Branch National Board Representative

I have served as local SAG President of the Georgia Branch, Alternate to the National Board and now as National Board Member.  During the past decade I have been elected to represent the Regional Branch Division on the Industrials Contract Negotiating Committee and two Commercial Contract Negotiating Committees, including the most recent 2009 negotiations.  I have also served on the EEOC, the Right-To-Work Task Force, the Organizing Committee and numerous other local and national committees.  As a member of the local AFTRA Board and joint SAG/AFTRA Branch, I understand the benefits of the unions working together to represent all members. I worked diligently to support past efforts to merge SAG and AFTRA and will work just as hard towards merger in the future.
