National Association of Latino Independent Producers

I decided to join the National Association of Latino Independent Producers (NALIP). NALIP is a national membership organization that addresses the professional needs of Latino (a) independent producers. The mission of this organization is to promote the advancement, development and funding of Latino (a) film and media arts in all genres. Also, NALIP is the only national organization committed to supporting both grassroots and community-based producers / media markers along with publicity funded and industry-based producers.

I have chosen to participate in the National Association of Latino Independent Producers because, as a leader in my area, I like to stay informed and active on everything regarding the entertainment business. Also, I am proud that producers in the Latino community have a professional organization to represent us and make thing happens.

The main goal I want to accomplish with this Organization is getting my point of view across by participating in all the activities in Puerto Rico and USA. I’m looking forward to becoming an important leader of NALIP, creating TV / Films projects in my area and collaborating with other Latinos producers. I basically think that the key word is teaching. We have the responsibility to “spread the word” about opportunities in the producing field here in Puerto Rico by supporting and promoting our NALIP chapter.

Through the National Association of Latino Independent Producers, I plan to be involved and participate as much as I can in special activities and organization meetings. My course of action for the next 12 months is to concentrate on the needs of the Puerto Rican producer. I’m going to implement additional benefits for members including: seminars, the possibility of health insurance, working with charity, public relations assistance (press conferences and interviews), as well as active collaboration with other NALIP associates. My priority in this matter is assisting and fulfilling the needs for education. I want, as a member, to help people make wise and informed choices and to do that hey need to be guided with practice in the field.

The National Association of Latino Independent Producers (NALIP) has become an opportunity to show my abilities and skills as a leader in the entertainment industry.
