FROM THE
PRESIDENT
Dear MeMbers,
As the summer ends and we move into fall,
it's a reminder to all of us that a new season
brings new beginnings and a chance to
measure the year's accomplishments and
celebrate our ever-growing LMGI community.
It's been quite a year for the LMGI, marked
by a slow return to normalcy and people
returning to public events. This was
dramatically illustrated in July with the
LMGI's reappearance to a packed room of
eager attendees at our 10th-year Guild panel at Comic-Con International in San
Diego, CA.
We topped that off in August with the return to the in-person 9th Annual LMGI
Awards show.
It was heartwarming to see a full house of old friends and wonderful new ones who
all made the trip to Los Angeles to celebrate the best of what we do. It truly was
an incredible night. There's nothing like being back in a room full of enthusiastic
colleagues sharing the energy and revelry of community.
We have our LMGI/DGC BC event in September, continuing a fall chockfull of
international Fam Trip opportunities and educational outreach you'll hear about in
the next issue of
LMGI Compass .
If you are interested in participating in Fam Trips or educational outreach programs
and haven't updated your membership dashboard profile to indicate it, I would
strongly suggest doing so. It is how we know who to put forward for consideration
by the various event planners.
The educational outreach programs in particular, while a commitment, are a key
element of expanding and strengthening our LMGI community into new regions
and "paying it forward" to the next location professional generation.
There are big things ahead in 2023. It will be the 10th anniversary of our awards
show and the 20th anniversary of the founding of the LMGI.
Please keep an eye open for date announcements, mark your calendars and plan
to attend. We'd love for everyone to come out to celebrate our LMGI community at
this milestone anniversary.
Cheers to the next LMGI season and to what's to come.
