Meet Our President

PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE

You dream of modeling or acting.  You see yourself in a magazine fashion spread, on TV, or in a movie roll.  You wonder, “How did they get their lucky break.  Were they discovered walking along the street, shopping at the mall, or on their Facebook page?”

No.  They took action.  And you can too.  Very few models or talent are discovered when they are just ‘being themselves.’  They get their big break by being seen at a Showcase and while networking with agency scouts, casting directors, marketing personnel, and personal managers.

Being a successful model or actor takes dedication to the craft, being guided by a professional, trained, nurtured, and prepared for the industry.  Nothing happens by chance. 

Let your dreams guide you to the resources you need to make them a reality.

Modeling Association of America, International (MAAI) was the first organization to recognize the need to help aspiring models and actors break into the business.  MAAI is a Not-For Profit organization whose goal is to make dreams come true.  Having celebrated our 52^nd year, MAAI is the road to your future.  Many models and actors today enjoy the rewards of their hard work, dedication, and the guidance provided by a local school or agency director who saw potential, the extra spark, the look, the latent talent, and the passion of the individual.

You will develop poise and composure by walking down the MAAI runway, career-building confidence in approaching international agents, practice in the art of speaking and entertaining in small group settings, and contacts and friendships for the rest of your life.  Whether your career path leads you to the board room, to entrepreneurship, or to marketing and media, the lessons you learn with MAAI will influence your success. 

Losers wait for things to happen, winners take action.

Take the first steps to STAR steps.
