As part of the Guild's ongoing efforts
to serve members residing outside Los
Angeles and New York, the DGA recently
held a membership meeting and dinner
in New Orleans, Louisiana on August 3.
The meeting provided an opportunity for local members
to network with others in the area, meet DGA staff and
hear what the Guild is doing to protect and extend their
creative and economic rights.
After welcoming approximately 40 Louisiana-based
members in attendance, DGA Assistant Executive
Director Mary Hatch reported on the Guild's recent
activities, contractual gains, and priorities, and shared
fi nancial and other resources available to members who
may be struggling. The attendees were then invited to
introduce themselves, ask questions and contribute to
the discussion of how the DGA can best represent its
members.
Also attending the gathering was DGA Field Rep Reza
Shaker, who spoke with many members about the state
of production in Louisiana and what the Guild is doing to
support its member there.
