www.dga.org, the official website of the Directors Guild of America, has added several new features lately in the Members Only section, in addition to the other online features previously available. The following information contains tips designed to simplify your web browsing experience.

Visiting the DGA Members Only Site:To log onto the DGA Members Only website please click the silver “Members Only Website” link in the top blue bar of www.dga.org and enter your username and password. If you do not know your user-name and password, click the the “help” link in the Members Only website log-in window and follow the instructions.

DGA Negotiations Update and WGA Strike Information:The Guild will be posting information for DGA Members about the WGA Strike and upcoming DGA Negotiations in the Negotiations Update section of the Members Only Website as the situation develops. Members are recommended to check the site regularly for new messages from the Guild.

The DGA E-Calendar:

DGA Membership Events, Meetings and Screenings information are available via email as the DGA E-Calendar. If you would like to subscribe to the E-Calendar log on to the DGA Members Only Website and click the E-Calendar Link on the homepage in the “Spotlight” section.

The DGA Member Portal:

The DGA Member Portal went online in October of 2007. The 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 on the Members Only Site:

  • The Interactive Calendar of Events allows members to look up DGA events by the month, week or day and geographic region.
  • DGA Council pages with meeting times and other information pertaining to the various DGA Councils.
  • DGA Committee pages with meeting times and other information pertaining to the various DGA Committees.
  • DGA Document Center with Production List, Availability lists, DGA Forms, and various other useful items such as safety information, Jeffords’ Rules, Welch’s Rules, and other documents.

If you have difficulty logging onto either the DGA Members Only site or the new DGA Members Portal, please contact Darrell Hope in the DGA Communications Department at (310) 289-2035 or e-mail him at darrellh@dga.org. If calling from outside of California, please call the Guild’s toll free number at (800) 421-4173 and ask for extension 2035.
