Membership Meeting a Big Success

More than 75 members visited Second Line Stages on Nov. 16 to participate in the annual membership meeting. Newly elected Local President John Wilmot made introductions and kicked off the business. National Board member Charlie Ferrara provided a report on the recent national convention. Assistant National Executive Director, Locals Linda Dowell gave an update on contracts and responded to members’ questions about the state of the industry and the local. Olga Wilhelmine discussed goals for the new Outreach Committee she and Diana Boylston will be spearheading. The meeting featured a conversation with casting directors Elizabeth Coulon and Ryan Glorioso, moderated by George Sanchez. Elizabeth asked that we remind members this is the final week to purchase Film Louisiana T-shirts. They are available here, with a portion of the proceeds benefitting Louisiana Film & Entertainment Association.
