Last October the DGA added several new services to the Members Only website, including the new DGA Members Portal that gives you online access to your own account. Here are a few tips to help you take advantage of them.

The DGA Member Portal allows members in good standing the ability to access a secure private account containing their DGA contact information, gross earnings and directory credits, as well as the capacity to personalize their own username and password, update their own credit listings online, and/or add credits throughout the year without the 75-word limit of the printed DGA Directory.

• The New DGA Member Portal and its services are available only on the DGA Members Only area of www.dga.org. Once you log onto the Members Only area, click the “DGA Members Portal” link on the right hand side of the home page.
• Users should be aware that once they access the new DGA Member Portal and create their username (your valid email address) and password (an alpha numeric item that’s at least six characters long and contains at least one letter or one number) this becomes their permanent log-in information for the DGA Members Only website.
• Some browsers initiate a conflict with the new security enhancements on the Members Only website. If you encounter a conflict please refer to the troubleshooting chart available as a link from the “need help logging in” page, or contact Darrell Hope in the DGA Communications Department at (310) 289-2035

Other services available online include the DGA E-Calendar, which emails you a monthly listing of the DGA Membership Events, Meetings and Screenings; and the DGA’s Visual History Program which features highlights from in-depth interviews conducted with distinguished members of the Guild. For more information about these services log onto www.dga.org and click the links available on the homepage.
