In the first election of member leaders at the union since the writers' strike ended in 2023, eleven council members — some new, some returning — were also appointed to seats.

Writers Guild of America East members have re-elected Sara David as vice president of their online media division and appointed Beth Godvik as the new vice president of broadcast, cable and streaming news in their first council election since the union’s 2023 strike concluded.

Godvik is taking over on the council for Kathy McGee, who did not run for re-election in the role. Godvik has served on the WGA East Council for two years while David, who ran unopposed, has served on the council for three years.

The WGA East Council is the union’s governing body, consisting of 20 council members and five executive officers across three work sectors represented by the union.
