Cathy Repola will retire as the national executive director of the Motion Picture Editors Guild at the end of January 2025.
Repola has worked at the Editors Guild, IATSE Local 700, for 32 years, and has been national executive director since 2016. A search committee will be appointed to fill the position. 
“Working for the Guild has been an extremely rewarding career,” Repola said. “I have always had a profound commitment to the Guild and our mission and a deep affinity for our members. Now, I have reached a place in my life where I want to shift my priorities to my loved ones and friends.”
“Cathy has been an indispensable leader for the Guild these past eight years. She has helped lead us successfully through some of the most hard-fought and intricate contract negotiations in our history, and through many challenging times, and done it all with remarkable courage and grace. Whoever succeeds her will have some very big shoes to fill,” said Guild President Alan Heim, ACE.
The Motion Picture Editors Guild represents about 9,000 post-production professionals, including picture editors, sound editors, mixers and more, in Los Angeles and New York.
