Join us in Albuquerque as we re-launch the SAG-AFTRA NM Local Coffee Connection. For this first gathering, we’ll even treat you to a complimentary medium-sized beverage or pastry!

These events are open forum gatherings where NM members can discuss matters of importance, share what’s on their minds, and network in a relaxed environment. Sometimes we may have a guest speaker, but these are really meant for you - our fellow members - to stay connected and help each other in our unconventional profession.

We’ll have a suggestion board so you can let us know your areas of interest or specific topics you'd like to discuss at future Connections.

RSVP: Reservations are required. Space will be limited to the first 30 RSVPs so be sure to register right away.  Please complete the form below to RSVP; you must be logged in to RSVP. Registration closes at 10 a.m., Saturday, May 11.

Join fellow SAG-AFTRA New Mexico Local members for this year's New Mexico Local membership meeting & holiday party.

Come out, meet your newly elected local leadership and hear about some of their plans for the coming year. There will be plenty of time to ask questions and get caught up on all things SAG-AFTRA New Mexico.

We are also fortunate to have a special guest with us this year: Amber Dodson, Director of the New Mexico Film Office, will be joining us for part of the meeting. Amber was previously the Film Liaison for the City of Albuquerque and prior to that worked in film and TV production, business development and marketing/advertising.

Learn more about the important role Amber and the film office play in the NM film & media industry. She will also be discussing how the state incentives work and how they do provide benefits (despite some misconceptions) to YOU as a performer and resident of New Mexico.

The meeting will be followed by the holiday mixer — an opportunity to meet and mingle with your fellow members. In the spirit of the season, we'll be collecting non-perishable food items to give to a local food/resource center that supports our fellow New Mexicans.

RSVP: Reservations are required. Please complete the form below by 5 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 30. You must be logged in to your SAG-AFTRA account to RSVP.
