The Casting Society of America (CSA) was created in February of 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.

CSA currently boasts close to 1000 members. CSA Casting Directors and Associates work around the world, with members based in the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia and Africa. Today CSA acts as a global resource for producers, directors and creative teams seeking casting professionals, promotes the image of casting directors and associates worldwide, engages in a number of charitable activities, and supports its members by sharing important and helpful professional information of common interest.

The society is not to be confused with an industry union. The Teamsters represent most (though not all) of the major casting directors in Hollywood. Members use the post-nominal letters "CSA"
