The LMGA Board of Directors meets every two months. Our aim is to hold our meetings at various locations of interest in Southern California. We are very fortunate to benefit from the generosity of a wide variety of Southern California venues.
This page highlights some of the locations whose owners have kindly provided us with space for our meetings, and often much more. Thanks are also due to the Events Committee for coordinating and organizing.
Please keep these locations in mind for your filming needs.
