In the final day of AFTRA's four-day national convention in Nashville, John Connolly was re-elected Sunday to serve a second two-year term as president, and AFTRA's national delegates made several moves to shore up the guild's financial situation, including a hike in dues and initiation fees. "We are convinced more and more that the central objective has to be to organize the industry. There are thousands of jobs out there that are going nonunion because there is no eye on the ball, and there is no serious campaign," Connolly said on Sunday. "We think that it is time that a systematic campaign be developed that evaluates the situation," he said. Other appointments included Bob Edwards, who was re-elected first vp, and Roberta Reardon, who was elected second vp. The seven national vps elected were Ron Morgan, Anne Gartlan, former AFTRA president Shelby Scott, Belva Davis, Dave Corey, Dick Kay and David Hartley-Margolin. Mitch McGuire and Bernie Alan were re-elected treasurer and secretary, respectively.
