On Stage with the GC of the Actors' Equity Association

www.law.com: From his 15th-story perch in midtown Manhattan, amid the glamour of the Great White Way, Tom Carpenter oversees the rights of the theater stars he has long admired. As general counsel of the Actors' Equity Association, he also serves as one of the organization's three regional directors, overseeing the eastern division, which includes Broadway.

This seems like a pretty cool, but challenging job. Mr. Carpenter is not only the defender of the Union, but deals with a lot of its administrative work as well. This is just an example of exactly what being in a Union means- you have a couple people handling the "overhead", but everyone else is at ground level. So Mr. Carpenter gets to meet a lot of people and have a very direct impact on their lives in this flat organization.
