I'm getting really tired of the argument that I should somehow have to "get involved" in order to benefit. I really am.When was the last time you called your regional chair to help you rent a conference hall for a day?
Can you give me one good reason why I should have to pay $110 a year to an organization in order to coordinate and host a conference myself? Why don't I just cut out the middle-man and host the event without paying the annual $110 fee? That money will go much further in paying for a conference hall than it would if I wrote out a check to the NPPA and then tried organizing a conference, that's for sure.
If the NPPA wants me to get involved, they most certainly should not be charging me $110 a year to do so.
Amen -- though I can't help but wonder how many eye-rolls an idea like that will elicit from the board.What does the NPPA need to do? Take this back to the board Mike:
The NPPA needs to become a "video centric" organization. Swallow their still pride. Admit the world has changed. Suck it up. And become a video organiation.... primarily. Make video 75 percent of the content of the magazine, education, etc... and make still photography 25 percent.
That's just to throw out an idea. To get things moving in some direction. Action results in change. Take action. Make the NPPA a video organization.
