Mission Statement:

• Apprentice Members shall have less than 5 years experience in stunts and consist of 1 stuntwoman and 1 stuntman

The Committee currently works with one Executive Board representative and one UBCP/ACTRA representative, who help facilitate the goals of the Committee & act as the liaisons with the Executive Board and the union staff.
