## Summary

SAG-AFTRA’s National Board has voted to extend National Executive Director Duncan Crabtree-Ireland’s contract through 20 June 2032 and add “CEO” to his title. The change recognises the range of his responsibilities, including leading staff and serving as the union’s chief negotiator, at a time of uncertainty in Hollywood.

The extension passed with 98.34% support at a Saturday meeting; his previous contract was due to expire on 21 June 2028. The agreement’s terms were not disclosed. Crabtree-Ireland negotiated the union’s four-year deal with the AMPTP in May, while SAG-AFTRA leadership has opposed the Paramount Skydance acquisition of Warner Bros.
