Member Meetings

Please join your fellow New Mexico Local members for our annual membership meeting. While the method of meeting may be slightly different, the community feeling will be the same. Hope to see you there! 

We have a special guest: SAG-AFTRA National Director, Background Contracts, Stephanie Perry will join us to talk about the new Albuquerque Background Actor Zone established under the 2022 Netflix Agreement. This represents the first new background zone under the Union’s Entertainment Contracts in 24 years.

Learn your rights under the agreement. Stay informed of best practices. Bring your questions and get the answers on all aspects, including:

• What are the terms of the Albuquerque Netflix Background Zone?
• Why was an ABQ Background Zone created?
• When does the Background Zone apply to a production shooting locally?
• Can I still accept non-covered Background work under other non-Netflix projects?

You’ll also receive updates about all things related to the market and have the opportunity to learn and ask questions of elected New Mexico Local representatives and staff.
