Members Meet in Grand Rapids

Ralph Lister at the Grand Rapids meeting

On May 18, SAG-AFTRA Director of Locals Administration Marcia Fishman joined West Michigan members for an informal local meeting. Nine members gathered over pizza at Compass College of Cinematic Arts. One made the trip from the Grand Haven/St. Joseph area and three members made the trip from the east side of the state. Lively discussions always come out of a meeting of these members, and this evening was no exception. Conversations focused on how to help filmmakers understand the process of using union talent in their films, as well as brainstorming ways to get more work for the talent here. We’ll look forward to a few coffee connections over the summer and fall months.
