Message from the Board - July, 2009
Dear Members and Prospective Members:
“Over the past 18 months I've had the pain and pleasure of writing a monthly message. Painful because writing is such a chore for me, but pleasurable because I've had the opportunity to communicate with so many of you my passions about photography, business, and our wonderful association. Well, in deciding to serve another term as President, I felt it would be more beneficial and enjoyable for you the readers to hear from some of the other wonderful and talented people on our board.
In the months to come you will have the opportunity to hear from each of our board members. With respect to the writers, this section will now be titled "A Message from the Board". Our first message is from one of our Directors, Sara Goodnick.”
--Wendy Newman, AZPPA President 2008-2010
A great big gigantic “Thank You” goes to the outgoing Board and officers! Thank you for all of your work and efforts on behalf of AZPPA. We appreciate all you have contributed in bringing AZPPA to the level it has now reached, in membership numbers and events. This past year has been great due to your involvement.
I also want to thank, members of AZPPA for electing me to be on the Board of Directors. It is an honor to serve this wonderful organization. We are all here to serve you, the members of AZPPA. If you have any questions or suggestions, please do not hesitate to contact me, or any of the other officers and board members.
Foremost on my mind during these dog days of summer-The Business Plan. How many of you have your business plans up and running? I know some of you do, and I so admire you! Others are just like me, so right-brained we just conveniently keep forgetting about it. This time it is finally underway, thanks to Dan Hammel’s gentle prodding. He gave a great, no-nonsense, workshop last February, titled “The Birth of a Business Plan.” When I see him again, I want to be able to tell him I now have one, too. We would all rather be out photographing, but it’s like building a house—once it’s completed, only certain modifications will be required in the future and won’t take nearly as long as this initial part. The rewards of having this road map for my business will be most satisfying as the future unfolds and the business grows.
This has been just one of ever so many classes, lectures, and seminars, presented by AZPPA that has been invaluable to me. I cannot imagine life as a professional photographer without this organization! Click on the education link above for all the upcoming events. It’s quite a lineup, of wonderful programs and events taking us into December.
My best to you all,
Sara Goodnick
