The Tele-Production Association of Trinidad & Tobago-Tpatt is an organization of skilled television professionals qualified to organize and supervise videotape and film productions. The purpose of the Tpatt is to promote and encourage the continuing education and employment of its members. Through information sharing and high membership standards, the Tpatt strives to be a valuable resource within the entertainment industry.
History
The Tpatt was originally formed in 1983 to combat the erosion of traditional producer and associate producer functions on TV videotape and multi-camera film shows. Since that time, the Tpatt has increased its membership dramatically and now represents the needs and concerns of over 30 members from seven different categories of TV production personnel.

As we start the new calendar year, finish the previous episodic season, enter the intense TV Pilot production arena, and anxiously await the network announcements about the 1998 Media Awards and this years TV schedule, I would like to take a moment and talk about the continuing effectiveness and strength of the Tpatt. We are a viable and important industry organization.
Our Ranks are made up of nearly 30 highly skilled professionals, all guided by an exciting, energetic and knowledgeable Board of Directors. It is an organization built upon the foundation of hard work by the numerous committees and their chairs, each one made up from our diverse membership base.
As your new Vice-Chairman I want to continue to build upon the success of the previous Tpatt leadership in making sure that we remain an organization with a powerful and visible presence in the television industry.
With such a large and diverse membership base it is always difficult to
promote and encourage the continuing education, social gathering and sharing of
information, and employment of our people. But this is our goal, our
mission statement. We can keep our
high standards and meet our goals
if we have a…Pro Active membership.
There are numerous ways to be Pro-Active…Join one of our committees, attend a board meeting, participate in one of our social/networking events, call our hotline with suggestions, help set up and attend one of our future seminars, let the people you work for and with know about the Tpatt, write or supply an article for our newsletter, call other members or Board members with a suggestion or comment about the Tpatt… in other words GET INVOLVED.
I am and have always been interested by the stature of our organization.
WE ARE THE ONES THAT MAKE PRODUCTION HAPPEN.
