Ellen Stutzman Remains WGA West Executive Director As Union Reveals Board Election Results
A year to the day after the Writers Guild strike settlement, Ellen Stutzman has been ratified as Executive Director of WGA West in a lopsided referendum vote.
They are incumbents Raphael Bob-Waksberg, Deric A. Hughes, Justin Halpern and Travis Donnelly and new electees Melinda Hsu, Chris Hazzard, Danny Tolli and John Rogers. She was promoted to Assistant Executive Director in 2018, with oversight over the Agency, Contracts, Legal, and Research & Public Policy departments, and has served as a trustee on the Pension and Health Funds since that year. “Ellen is a steady, calm force to be reckoned with, as we all witnessed these past five months as she led us to victory in the 2023 strike,” WGAW President Meredith Stiehm said when Stutzman took over as exec director.
