Union Strong! 💪

Vote LIZ MARSHALL for Secretary-Treasurer of Local 6!

I was born and raised in San Leandro, CA, a third generation Californian and union member! I returned to the Bay Area several years ago for family obligations, and was thrilled to finally join Local 6. I am honored to have been asked to run for Secretary-Treasurer of the Union that supports our beautifully diverse community of performing musicians. I’ve had a lifetime of experience as a performer, educator, and advocate, and I’m committed to listening to and representing the needs of Local 6 members.
