Eileen Grubba (IMDB)
Local Board and Delegate

As an active member of National and Local Performers With Disabilities committees, currently serving on the PGEC at the TV Academy, with decades of experience advocating for disability inclusion in our industry, my experience would add a much-needed voice in the room. I’ve been in the trenches 30 years, battling for every role, primetime, streaming, film, struggling to make critical health insurance every single year, so I'm not afraid to speak up and fight for what is fair and just for ALL performers.
