The Business

The SAG-AFTRA Foundation’s The Business Program provides SAG-AFTRA members with free, vital, and current advice and information about the entertainment industry. From the latest conventions in auditioning and signing with an agent for the first time to managing finances, The Business covers every topic performers need to know as they pursue a career as a professional actor.

The Foundation offers over 150 Small Group Sessions per year — intimate lectures, workshops, and seminars held virtually and in-person, covering essential topics for members. These topics include auditions and self-tapes, professional reels, money management, social media, finding representation, branding, resume building, and career management.

Small Group Sessions provide a space to break down concepts into practical action items that members can apply individually to their own professional pursuits.

Additionally, the Foundation offers regular panels, held both live and virtually, where industry experts are invited to address these topics and respond to questions from a live audience. Many of these panels are recorded and available on the Foundation’s YouTube Channel.
