That does not mean you have no voice, or that your concerns are of no interest to the Committee members who serve at the pleasure of the union Presidents. Parent Advisors have served this Committee with distinction throughout its history, from the development of policy to the passage of legislation. More importantly, the real-time information Parents share with the Committee is vitally important to the work of the Young Performers Committee. Problems cannot be addressed, nor can the power and prestige of the unions be brought to bear on troubling concerns unless the Committee is informed. To insure that the special issues surrounding minors in this Industry are addressed Screen Actors Guild holds monthly Orientations designed specifically for young performers and their families.
Children are welcome.
There is ample opportunity to be heard. We guarantee confidentiality if that is your concern. A special Coogan Hotline has been established to provide comprehensive information about the Revised Coogan Law. We look forward to seeing you.
