Colorado, Let's Party!

The SAG-AFTRA Colorado Local held its annual Membership Meeting and Holiday Schmoozer on Dec. 10. The schmoozer was open to the local industry and featured great food, fun door prizes and lots of holiday cheer. A lot of new faces mixed in with the familiar, including many transfers from other locals who are now calling Colorado home.

Each local has its own pulse and, for these newcomers, it was a terrific way to meet fellow members and learn about the ins and outs of the local market. Top on the list was the ongoing campaign to promote the Colorado Regional Commercials Code. Commercials are the local’s most-worked contract and, in light of the BBH strike, it was a great opportunity to talk about the status of the commercials contract across the country and the negotiations. Social forums built around festive occasions have proven to be incredibly successful in engaging local members, disseminating information and creating lasting camaraderie within the Colorado Local. To that end, let's party!
