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. 

* PAL - Performing 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. 

* 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. 

* 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, c/o
communications at caea.com. Let Arden know where your interests lie, and
Equity will put your name on the list for when an opening comes up.
