The Casting Society of America was founded in Los Angeles in February 1982, with the intent of establishing a recognized standard of professionalism in the casting field and providing its members with a support organization to further their goals and protect their common interests. The founding members of the organization (which at the time was called the American Society of Casting Directors) were Mike Fenton, Al Onorato and Joe Reich. By 1983, membership had grown to 39 and CSA began publishing a monthly newsletter for its members, reporting on casting-related news of interest in the industry. Today, the CSA acts as a global resource for filmmakers seeking casting professionals, promotes the image of casting directors worldwide, engages in a number of charitable enterprises, and supports its members by sharing important and helpful professional information of common interest. Pam Dixon is the current President of the organization which is headquartered in Hollywood with an office in New York. Past Presidents of the CSA include... - Chemin Bernard
