Heading: Paul Ward: Mr. Ward was an independent

Text: contractor who was paid over $200,000 to do a feasibility study which was to be completed in one year. However, after three years, Mr. Ward never submitted a report. IACF funds are to go to educational institutions or 501(c)(3) organizations, not to independent contractors. Members complained to me, I 13150 METOYER v. SCREEN ACTORS GUILD reported their complaints to John McGuire and Leonard Chassman. Nothing was ever done. While affirmative action IACF grants were under very close scrutiny, these other grants went for years without any scrutiny or accountability whatsoever. Brakefield, Ward and Jensen were receiving large grants from IACF year after year while the affirmative action department, for which IACF had allo- cated funds for affirmative action activities, was being gutted. John McGuire was a senior staff mem- ber, a trustee on the board of IACF, and a mentor to these three grant recipients. She informed the senior staff that she intended to take her findings to SAG’s national board.
