Collaborative Work Day
Monday, February 13th, 2022 - by Zoom. At our monthly Collaborative Work Days we meet to catch up, either in person or by Zoom to exchange ideas, work side by side, and answer questions. All are welcome! For February we are determining the best way to combine zoom/in person. Currently we are looking at a split time with zoom chat 12-1:30 and in person in the morning. Most previous Collaborative Work Day shares can be found on You Tube.

MDPPA is a State Affiliate of Professional Photographers of America (PPA). We are a separate membership organization, yet we are mutually beneficial.
There are many benefits to being a member of both MDPPA and PPA. Some of our programs offer Continuing Education Merits for PPA member attendees, and PPA Member Speakers for our programs are eligible to receive speaker merits from PPA. Our print competition program is in association with PPA guidelines. Many MDPPA members are also PPA members and will be happy to answer your questions about either organization. Our PPA Councilors for the state of Maryland, Steve Clark, Anne Looney, and George Singleton, would also be happy to talk with you. They can be reached through our membership directory.
You will find that MDPPA offers a wonderful community of colleagues, who share camaraderie, collaboration, ideas and resources, education and experience. We look forward to welcoming you with our hospitality!
