From One Gen to Another

Representatives from the N.Y. NextGen Performers Subcommittee and the SAG-AFTRA Foundation gave a presentation titled Tech Tools and Social Savvy with Auditioning, Casting and Marketing in the N.Y. office on April 3. Hosted by the N.Y. Seniors Committee, the panel and workshop focused on the needs of members age 50-plus in understanding and adapting to the ever-changing world of social media and technology tools.

Panelists covered topics from beginner to expert level, explained the various resources available through SAG-AFTRA and the SAG-AFTRA Foundation, answered questions, and met one-on-one with attendees for individual assistance and guidance. N.Y. Seniors Committee Chair Elaine LeGaro commented, “This was a great opportunity for SAG-AFTRA members from different generations to meet, learn from one another and share experiences. My deepest thanks to everyone who participated.”
