Happy New Year to all PPLAC Members,
For those of you that are new to PPLAC, I am happy to announce that I have been given the great honor to serve as PPLAC's new President. I joined PPLAC in 2005 and continued to grow my business with the help of this wonderful organization by taking part in the many wonderful 'perks' that PPLAC has to offer. My first board position, Print Competition Chair, gave me the opportunity to gain more photographic knowledge as the position grew into the Digital Photographic Competition in 2011.
In 2012, the board will be working even harder, putting together several new and exciting programs. We will be sponsoring photo safaris as well as adding location landscape workshops, Lightroom and Photoshop seminars, and more. Recently, a few of us went on a 'pilot' safari in Joshua Tree National Park. Check out the slide show at our annual Open House.
It's a New Year -- what better way than joining PPLAC at our Open House to start 2012 and drive your business! It takes place January 26th at 7pm in our temporary location. So, mark your calendars!
I also invite you to contact any board member with ideas you have to make PPLAC the best ever in 2012.
Have an amazing New Year! See you at the Open House.
Cheers,
Bob Young
PPLAC President
