VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES AT EQUITY
-------------------------------------------------------
Looking to Volunteer?

Been feeling that the time has come to get to know your Association
better? Think you'd like to volunteer some time to help Equity and your
fellow members? Occasionally, Equity needs the participation of members
on volunteer committees, for certain projects or to represent Equity on
industry committees and at events. These committees and/or projects can
take place in any region of this country (not just in Toronto) so we are
looking for interested members from every province.  These are some of
the circumstances where volunteers could be needed. 

a)       PAL - Performers Arts Lodges. PAL has chapters across the
country and regularly seeks to have a local Equity member involved in
their various committees. There is no particular set of skills required
other than a sincere desire to assist your colleagues in the industry
and the ability to commit some time. 

b)      Charity events - various industry related charities, including
PAL and the Actors Fund, have fund raising activities. Those activities
have included board game and golf tournaments and seasonal activities.
There is no particular set of skills required for these types of
activities other than a genuine interest in the activity and the ability
to commit some time.  

c)       On occasion, Equity seeks participants for other types of
activities including committees dealing with a particular collective
agreement or dispute resolution committees. A significant knowledge of
the particular agreement or previous experience in a specific area of
our jurisdiction would likely be required from all participants and the
final choice of participants would rest with the Executive Director. 

If you think you might like to volunteer if an opportunity comes up,
please send an email to Arden R. Ryshpan, Executive Director, and let
her know where your interests lie. We'll put your name on the list for
when an opening comes up.
