HOW WE OPERATE

STAFF

Equity currently employs 180 full-time professional and part-time support staff in its three office cities and one additional satellite office. The staff is responsible for handling the day-to-day business of the Association and its members.

Executive Director Al Vincent, Jr. is responsible for the overall implementation of national policy, contract oversight and negotiations, and communication with our members and the public. Regina Mincey-Garlin, assistant executive director for finance and administration, oversees Equity's national finances and overall administration. Three assistant executive directors oversee the contract business representatives in each of their respective offices and regional areas. This team of executives, working together with the National Council, the Regional Boards and the members of Equity's dedicated staff, is responsible for making recommendations to the governing bodies regarding policy and financial and contractual issues.

The single largest group of professional staff members consists of more than 35 business representatives. Supervised by six senior business representatives, the business reps are the staff members with whom producers and working members deal on a day-to-day basis. Their duties include answering questions and interpreting agreement provisions, enforcing and administering all work rules, negotiating with employers, and handling all manner of member claims, grievances and disputes.
