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.

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.
