Casting Society of America

The Casting Society, formerly known as Casting Society of America (CSA), was founded in Los Angeles, California, in 1982 as a professional society of about 1,200 casting directors and associate casting directors for film, television, theatre, and commercials in Canada, Europe, Australia, Asia and Africa, and the United States. The nonprofit organization announced the name change from Casting Society of America to Casting Society on February 10, 2022. The society is not to be confused with an industry union. The International Brotherhood of Teamsters represent most (though not all) of the major casting directors and associate casting directors in Hollywood. Members use the post-nominal letters "CSA" when credited for their work.

Membership eligibility
The following requirements must be met in order to join the CSA:
 * Sponsorship letters from at least two current members of the CSA.
 * Two years of screen or stage credit as Primary Casting Director.

Casting directors who are also personal managers are not eligible for membership in the CSA.

Artios Awards
Since October 1985, the Casting Society has presented the Artios Awards for excellence in casting. Members are honored in over 25 different casting categories in simultaneous events held in Beverly Hills, New York City and London.
