VPPA Town Hall Meeting (2nd Quarter)
Tue, June 13, 2023 7:00 PM Online
A collaborative meeting between the Board of Directors and our Membership, where we listen and chat about topics of interest or we discuss specific important association news. Don't miss this meeting because this is when we will be discussing all of the details from the Restructuring Committee. All questions, suggestions, and concerns will be heard.
Streamlining PhotoConnect
VPPA is happy to announce that “PhotoConnect” will now be the staple name and brand for our statewide annual conventions and seasonal seminars. For instance, there is PhotoConnect: Annual Convention when we gather together for three days during the early part of the year. PhotoConnect: Summer Seminar and Fall Seminar are the two events held later in the year. We believe “PhotoConnect” could stand on its own and represent the educational platforms, rather than having three separate names. More details will follow for upcoming dates and locations.
Podcast Project
Our marketing team is developing a VPPA Podcast! The podcast will be used to share announcements, newsletters, Flash online audio readings, and more. We are looking for voice talents that are charismatic and fun or have experience with Spotify for Podcasters. Please contact Jenny Lijana, Marketing Director, if you are interested in getting involved with the Podcast.
While we are hard at work setting up the Podcast show that you can follow, feel free to listen to the audio companion of this month's podcast by clicking the button below.

Hello to all VPPA members, and to those that are considering joining, welcome!
It has been a very busy and exciting start to the year! All the time and effort that went into making PhotoConnect a success was definitely time well spent. Thank you to everyone that played a part in this awesome educational experience. We are an all-volunteer organization and it takes a lot of members donating their time and talents to get everything done. Special thanks to Andee Moore for not only doing such a great job as Convention Chair but for managing the new format for Image Competition. It was a big change and it went so very well, so big congratulations to you and the Image Competition Committee.
I’m still riding the wave of enthusiasm from PhotoConnect… I have been talking with members about all sorts of things, working with committees, and visiting Districts at their meetings. I was so pleased with the program and the turnout at the Northern District meeting earlier this month. Thank you to Gwen Meehan for the invitation and to Kim Kiely for the lighting program. It was so very different from what I do on an everyday basis and is making me think a little differently, which is just what I need every so often. I’m also planning on visiting Capital and Blue Ridge very soon and I hope to see you there.
Thanks to all the members and board members for all the smiles, conversations, and all things social… it is my very favorite part of this wonderful organization. No matter where the conversation goes, it is the connection that brings me joy.
Thank you for the joy and I hope to see you at the coming events (local, state, or other;)
