The free video conference is slated for Thursday, January 28th at 4:00 p.m. EST.

Everyone in the post-production industry has had to adapt to the new normal of Covid and the Post New York Alliance has evolved right along with them. Over the past year, the organization has launched a series of ambitious programs and initiatives to keep members informed about the impact of the pandemic, learn the best strategies for moving forward, and foster greater collaboration among companies, disciplines and individual pros.

In the next edition of the popular video conference series Post Break, PNYA Chair Yana Collins Lehman, Interim Membership Director/Board Member Jennifer Lane, Board Member Ben Baker, Board Member Kim Spikes and Administrator Rebekah Hernandez will review how PNYA and changed and extended its outreach. They will discuss PNYA's new networking programs, Face to Face, Slack and Who You Don't Know, and how members can get involved. They will also review progress made by committees on Education, Events, Green Practices and Diversity, and reveal what's in store for 2021. Board Secretary/Chair of Education & Events Committee Chris Peterson will moderate.

Following the webinar, attendees will have an opportunity to join small, virtual breakout groups for discussion and networking.
