Gabrielle Carteris Named SAG-AFTRA President

Variety: Gabrielle Carteris has become the president of SAG-AFTRA for the next 16 months as the successor to the late Ken Howard, who died March 23.

The union’s national board made the decision Saturday in a vote by acclamation. Carteris has been serving as acting president since Howard’s death.

She had been re-elected to the post of executive vice president at the union’s bi-annual convention in October, topping Patricia Richardson.
