Vancouver, British Columbia Annual Meeting Program!
Speaker Spotlight!
Join us for our annual meeting and an unforgettable photographic experience in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia. With its scenic views, mild climate, and friendly people, Vancouver is known around the world as both a popular tourist attraction and one of the best places to live. Ethnically and linguistically diverse, Vancouver offers many historical, architectural, and cultural photographic opportunities!
In this speaker spotlight, we introduce Canada's premier photojournalist John Lehmann. 
For the second year in a row, John Lehmann has been honored with a Canadian Association of Journalists award for photojournalism. Lehmann brings an array of talents to his work: the insatiable curiosity that marks all the best journalists; an artistry that sets his images apart from the billions of other pictures; a quiet intimacy and flair for inventiveness, which is what brings his work to life. Most of all, he is not simply a photographer, he is a visual journalist. And the principal that underpins everything is accuracy and honesty, both to the people he reports on and the readers to whom he reports.
John is our keynote speaker and judge for the LHSA Photo Contest.
- Keynote Address- The Next Frontier (Saturday, October 8)
