To our members,
First and foremost, we as the board would like to extend our gratitude to you all. The
pursuit of photographic arts is something we all hold dear, and without membership -
we are nothing. In addition, we as the board would like to make members aware of
some issues that we are working through, and to be as transparent as possible. Over
the past year, we have welcomed new board members and lost some as well. We
have had gaps in communication between leadership, board members, and
members of the organization. The ball has been dropped in more ways than one. For
this we take full responsibility and are committed to providing you, our members, with
the level of care, respect, and attention needed to thrive as an organization. That
being said, we want to continue to elevate and provide educational opportunities for
our members with Member News, Member Spotlights, webinars, and various
workshops. We want to hear from you! Please send us your news and your work so
we can share it far and wide.
As it stands, TPS needs your help to move forward. Whether that is with your
membership renewal, your time, your donations, or with your ideas - we need all
hands on deck. If any members are interested in helping TPS out with their time, we
are always welcoming volunteers, as well as your valued feedback and suggestions.
Our hope is to move forward and to create a stronger organization that can stand the
test of time.
Sincerely,
The board of the Texas Photographic Society
