FROM THE
PRESIDENT
"Alone, we can do so little; together, we can
do so much."
–Helen Keller
As we reflect on the incredible success
of the recent 11th Annual LMGI
Awards, I feel an overwhelming sense
of pride in what we, as a community,
have accomplished. The event
was extraordinary, celebrating the
immense talent, creativity and
dedication our global nominees and
winners bring to the art of location
management. The passion and collaborative spirit demonstrated at the
awards cements what makes our Guild so special—a shared commitment
to elevating our craft and pushing boundaries.
This year's show, held alongside AFCI Week, was a testament to our
growing presence and influence in the industry. The pairing of these two
prestigious events not only highlighted our roots but also showcased how
integral our work is to the storytelling process. I want to thank everyone
who contributed to making this event a resounding success, from the
volunteers and staff to our sponsors and partners.
However, our success doesn't end with the awards. As we look to the
future, I want to remind each of you that you get out of the LMGI what you
put into it. Whether contributing to
LMGI Compass, participating in panel
discussions or lending your voice to our committees, your involvement is
vital to our continued growth. The collective knowledge and experience
within our membership are unmatched, and it's through your participation
that we can continue to inspire and support each other.
We have come so far, but there is still more we can achieve together. I
invite you to share your stories, your experiences and the insights that will
help shape the future of our Guild. Let's keep building on this momentum
and make our voices heard in every corner of the industry.
Thank you for your ongoing dedication and passion.
Warm regards,
John Rakich
