Friends!

UBCP has launched a survey re: members' experience in / response to our new audition model. PLEASE CHECK YOUR EMAIL and ***gmail*users*** please check your "promotions" folder (or spam / junk / trash, regardless of email provider).

Let's help our Union help us, by giving them the data they need to understand where everyone's at.

HUZZAH!

UBCP has sent members a link to a survey about self-tapes. Check your email -- the survey takes only minutes (though I encourage actors to *not* make guesses or be too aspirational).
While you're checking email, register for the **IN-PERSON** AGM next week! It will be AMAZING to see you. In. Person.

Thank you, UBCP!

Hello Friends

A grassroots effort isn't, by definition, a declaration of opposition. We are grassroots: we are mobilizing our membership to encourage participation in a discussion.

A number of UBCP actors have gathered together, and connected with grassroots movements elsewhere, to listen and learn from members about our new audition landscape. We are decidedly committed to inclusion.

Our experience in BC is the experience of actors everywhere.

We embrace your thoughts, experience, and ideas. There isn't an intent to forge "sides." We are decidedly committed to the integrity of our work, to assuring respect for the work we do, to the membership and to our Union itself.

We want to hear from YOU -- whatever your experience and opinions and hopes for the future, and how you're doing now. We are dedicated members of UBCP.

We want to hear from you. Not a pro/con effort but, rather, a sincere, grassroots effort -- one whose head & heart is focused on the integrity of the work and the health & safety of actors. We'd love to hear from you, so join us at our Town Hall on Wed Aug 3rd.
