President's Message |
Welcome to 2024! The PPW board is looking forward to an active year, kicked off by a great Spring Conference, INNOVATE! If you check our current event calendar – we have many things already popping up across the state in every district. As your president, my vision is to maintain the momentum that Mike Busby and the rest of the board were able to achieve over the last two years, especially during the hardships of COVID, and for our new team to continue to honor the seventy year history of this wonderful organization. We want to grow the PPW and are working on new ways to attract new members. We have teams reaching out to photography schools, image competitions and photographic events. The PPW is here to provide training and comradery. Our event chairs and district reps are doing a fantastic job with this. With the stresses of covid easing, they are creating more in person events and great, hands on classes than ever before. We are also striving to provide mentorship to those who need it. If you want to learn more about image competition, are struggling with photographic technique or a business issue, please don't hesitate to reach out to one of us for help. If you are looking for ways to give back to the photographic community - we can make that happen for you. The PPW is thriving. Come be a part of it. Andrew Crain, AFP |
