On October 8, DGA members who work
and reside in the region attended a DGA
membership meeting and dinner in the
Boston, MA. The event was an opportunity to
network with their peers, meet DGA staff, and
hear what the Guild is doing on their behalf.
Joined by the DGA's Director of Local Stations Lila
Foldes and Business Representative Michael Mintz,
DGA Executive Director Mary Hatch shared remarks
on behalf of the Guild.
Acknowledging the many challenges faced by
members in the Boston area and beyond, Hatch
reported on some of the Guild's recent work to protect
DGA jobs and support a strong, competitive domestic
production industry, and on recent actions taken by
the DGA-Producer Health Plan to preserve the Plan
for members now and in the future. Attendees were
also encouraged to join the Guild's efforts to support
the federal film and television tax incentive legislation
and provided resources to easily make their voices
heard with their congressional representatives.
Members were then invited to ask questions, and
to share their own experiences, challenges, and
suggestions for how the Guild can best support
members in the area.
