On February 23, the Asian American Committee’s (AAC) online meeting featured the first segment of a two-part presentation, Show Me the Money: Navigating Finances as a DGA Member.
In a conversation moderated by former AAC Co-Chair Kevin Berlandi (Bull, Criminal Minds), DGA-Producer Pension & Health Plans CEO Lisa Read spoke about how the Plans work and gave an update on the impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on the institution. The second part of this presentation will occur later this spring.
The meeting also contained a brief tutorial on how members can update their public profile in the availability lists, find information on their dues and residuals and other features of the members-only portal on the DGA website.
