New Coronavirus/COVID-19 Re
On March 27, the DGA unveiled its new electronic member portal for Coronavirus/
COVID-19-related information. The purpose of this new area is to provide access
to important information for members. The section is replenished with up-to-date
information and links to important resources.
The page contains the latest member updates; a guide to Guild resources; and
sections with links to information on unemployment insurance, accessing government
assistance, industry resources, local, state and federal resources, and other health
resources. Some of this information is also featured in this issue of DGA Monthly.
