    LOS ANGELES --

    The SAG-AFTRA National Board, meeting via Zoom videoconference Saturday (2/6), passed a resolution preemptively denying any potential re-admission applications by former member Donald J. Trump.

    The resolution cites the same concerns that prompted the initial disciplinary charges — which were resolved by Trump’s resignation Thursday — notably his antagonism of the union’s journalist members and disregard for the values and integrity of the union.

    “Preventing Donald Trump from ever rejoining SAG-AFTRA is more than a symbolic step,” said Gabrielle Carteris, president of SAG-AFTRA. “It is a resounding statement that threatening or inciting harm against fellow members will not be tolerated. An attack against one is an attack against all.”

    In response to the tragic events and widespread impact of the recent fires in Southern California, the Advanced Imaging Society (AIS) has made the difficult decision to cancel the 15th Annual Lumiere Awards Luncheon, originally scheduled for Friday, February 7, at the Beverly Hills Hotel.

    “Our thoughts are with all those in our community who have been affected by these devastating fires,” said AIS president Jim Chabin. “In the past few days, we’ve been heartbroken to learn of friends and colleagues who have lost homes and cherished memories. At the same time, we’ve been deeply moved by stories of members offering shelter, resources, and support to those in need. This spirit of solidarity and generosity reflects the very heart of our industry.”

    While the luncheon ceremony will not take place as planned, the AIS remains committed to celebrating the extraordinary creative achievements of the past year. Winners of the 15th Annual Lumiere Awards will be announced on February 7.

    The Advanced Imaging Society extends its gratitude to all members and partners for their understanding and support as we stand together during this challenging time.
