He also worked as a Senior Political Community Organizer with the Service Employees International Union .
“I am excited for this opportunity to continue the important work that ICG does, including the crucial support the Guild provides during this industry-wide strike that has impacted so many of our members,” said Tonisson. “During this critical moment of technology-driven change in film and the arts – it’s my honor to represent the best interests of our members who include some of the most brilliant, creative and talented individuals in our industry.
Chris Silano, National Vice President of the ICG, added: “Alex’s appointment is a positive step forward for the ICG/ His long-standing history in the labor movement, coupled with his proven success leading the guild in multiple capacities, speaks volumes to how well positioned he is to formally take the reins as our National Executive Director.”
