Get ready for an Annual Meeting with a fresh twist! This year, we're excited to offer even more opportunities for technical growth and meaningful connections within our MDPPA community. First, MDPPA President James Corbett will call the business portion of the meeting to order. The first order of business will be board elections. Next, he will provide a brief association update highlighting how we are utilizing our resources to deliver member value and maintain a strong financial foundation. Following the association update, we're diving into a practical "Tech Night." Ever wonder if you're truly getting the most out of your memory cards? Ever asked yourself what hacks would help you get the most out of your valuable camera technology and gear? We will kick off with a presentation and demonstration by our very own Jan Peterson, where he’ll address our “Need For Speed!” He’ll share his insightful findings from testing various memory cards, revealing why speed ratings might not be the whole story and highlighting other crucial factors that every photographer should be aware of. He’ll share some of his wildlife photography and how this knowledge allowed him to get action shots others may have missed. He’ll also demonstrate how to test your own camera. When Jan wraps, get ready to connect with fellow photographers in small, manufacturer-specific groups. Each group will have a facilitator to spark engaging conversations, and we encourage you to come prepared to share your most valuable tips and tricks for maximizing your camera and gear. To make the most of this hands-on opportunity, please bring your camera so you can explore the settings and give the shared tips a try in real-time. There will also be an opportunity to step away from the tables and test your memory cards. If you’d like to participate in the testing, please bring a tripod and your empty memory cards. Don't miss out on this valuable opportunity to stay informed, learn practical tips, and connect with your MDPPA community! Register for the event today, and be sure to complete the equipment questions so we can organize the small groups effectively. We look forward to seeing you there! Results from the Board Elections will be announced at the end of the meeting. This announcement is an official notice of the Annual Meeting per Article III, Section 9 (F) of the Bylaws.
