SAG REORGANIZES STAFF FOUR NATIONAL EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS NAMED.


Byline: Greg Hernandez Staff Writer

LOS ANGELES- The Screen Actors Guild announced on Monday a major reorganization of its professional staff, including the creation of four new national executive director positions.

The directors will report to Bob Pisano, the guild's newly hired executive director and chief executive officer.

Pisano, on the job since Sept. 10, said the moves are effective immediately and designed to provide SAG members with the most cost-effective and efficient service possible.

The new structure is among recommendations in an operational report by the management consulting Noun 1. management consulting - a service industry that provides advice to those in charge of running a business

.

``The critical foundation is a comprehensive national structure, with offices around the country, which supports our members wherever they work or live,'' Pisano said. ``This structure provides clear lines of responsibility and accountability for each division of our operations.''

Three of the four directors named by Pisano already have high-ranking jobs within SAG.
