    LOS ANGELES -- (SPW) --

    The Location Managers Guild International (LMGI) is proud to announce its Board of Directors for the 2020-2021 term.

    Newly elected members of the Board are Dan Connolly (UK), Jen Farris (GA) and Eric Klein (NY).   They will serve the Guild alongside returning Board members elected to new terms; LMGI 1st Vice President, Jennifer “JJ” Levine (CA), LMGI 2nd Vice President and founding member, Lori Balton (CA), John Rakich (ONT, CANADA) and Ryan Schaetzle (GA). 

    Board members continuing with ongoing terms include founding member Mike Fantasia (CA), Ken Haber (CA), Jimmy Ayoub (NY), Mac Gordon (GA), Wes Hagan (CA), Edward Mazurek (CA), Alison A. Taylor (LA) and Georgette Turner (U.K.).

    Election Committee Chair, Edward Mazurek, is thrilled to welcome the new board members, “The vote count between those elected and runners’ up was miniscule. Those running and those voting represented multiple states and multiple countries—a reflection of our growing international membership.  We’re also grateful to our departing Board members, Les Fincher, Matt Chamberlin and Walter Roshetski for their generous service to the LMGI.”

    LMGI President, Mike Fantasia adds, “The new LMGI board is starting at a unique time. While the Guild is not involved in labor relations or negotiations, though our series of “Coffee Tuesday” Zoom calls and Webinars, we have been sharing best practices since the COVID shut downs began. It’s is critical to all of us to continue to disseminate information and learn from our colleagues around the world as we return to work."T

    The 2020 LMGI Board of Directors met on May 31, 2020 and voted to continue with the current Officers on the Executive Committee: President, Mike Fantasia, 1st Vice President, JJ Levine, 2nd Vice President, Lori Balton, Treasurer, Ken Haber and Secretary, John Rakich.

    Union’s Tim Thornton-Allan Edits Santa’s ‘Naughty List’ for Toyota

    Wednesday, December 18, 2024
    There's still time to set things right...

    We may not get a second chance to make a first impression, but when the opportunity presents itself to right our wrongs in time for Christmas, we should seize the moment. In a new holiday spot for Toyota, a little boy realizes he is probably on Santa’s “Naughty List” and resolves to do something about it. The spot was created via Conill Advertising, produced by MJZ, directed by Fredrik Bond, and edited by Tim Thornton-Allan of Union Editorial/Los Angeles and Marshall Street Editors/London. Watching a program on his iPad in the back seat of his dad’s Toyota Tundra, our young protagonist receives a warning: “If you’ve been naughty, Santa won’t bring you any presents.” The lad wastes no time: “Papa! Turn back!” he commands. Father and son proceed to make the rounds, stopping at school, the neighbors, and elsewhere around the neighborhood, to set things right and deliver apologies. The boy even goes so far as to make amends with his little sister - returning the head of a favorite doll. The child’s restitution has the desired effect, and on Christmas morning, he receives exactly the gift he’d asked for. Judging by what he does next, he may have his work cut out for him next year, but we can all just take things one “Naughty List” at a time. Read More
