SAG-AFTRA has finally revealed the recipients of the prestigious George Heller Memorial Award gold cards, which recognise exceptional contributions to the guild and its members. The award, presented every two years at SAG-AFTRA’s national convention, will honour Sheila Ivy Traister, Michele Proude, Janice Pendarvis, and Stacey Travis this year. The National Honors and Tributes Committee members from around the country selected the honorees.

Sheila Ivy Traister, a former National Board Member of SAG-AFTRA, has dedicated over 44 years to the labor movement. She has served on the SAG-AFTRA National Board, as president of the Colorado Local, and is currently a member of five national committees.
