Location Managers Guild Of America
The LMGA is a professional organization of Location Managers, Location Scouts, Assistant Location Managers, and affiliated business members, such as film commissions, location services, vendors, and filming venues. Officially incorporated on 2 December 2003, the Location Managers Guild of America is a 501(c)(6) non-profit corporation dedicated to the promotion and interests of its members and their relations with the general public, communities, and industry partners.
The LMGA is not a labor union in that it does not represent Location Managers in wages or working conditions, leaving this responsibility to the respective locals such as Teamsters Local 399 in Los Angeles, Teamsters Local 390 in Miami, and the Directors Guild of America, which for bargaining purposes represents scouts and managers based in New York.
The LMGA has both union and non-union member professionals. Following the Set Decorators Society of America which formed in 1993, the LMGA is also Hollywood's newest guild (by contrast, the Screen Actors Guild was formed in 1933).
