Several members have offered to facilitate workshops and we’ll be following up with them. As well, the professional photographers suggested will assist in our choices of workshop leaders for the upcoming year.
Using these results the Workshop Committee is now in the process of developing a program of workshops and image reviews that are intended to meet members’ photographic interests.
