The Executive Committee of the DGA’s San Francisco Coordinating Committee (SFCC) welcomed DGA members from all categories to their Annual General Membership Meeting and Reception on Saturday, March 29, 2008. Twenty DGA members from the Bay area gathered at the Concordia-Argonaut Club in San Francisco, where special guest DGA Western Executive Director G. Bryan Unger gave an in depth analysis of the DGA contract negotiations that had taken place earlier this year. Also in attendance were DGA Assistant Executive Director Rodney Mitchell and Field Representative Don Gold.
Following SFCC Vice-Chair John Slosser gave reports on the Education and Screening Committees, as well as an update on the Summer Mixer, which is scheduled for mid-July.
