| President's Address:Welcome to 2018 PPOC members - an evolution for all organizations is inevitable. Of course, things change - hopefully the effort to advance change is for the benefit and advancement of it’s members. And that’s what the Board has been working on for our organization. If you’ve participated in any of the recent Image Competitions you are aware that our entire presentation has been revamped. We are using PrintCompetition.com - an online management system for image judging and scoring. Our members can use their smartphones or tablets (alone with the “Game-Day” app) to watch live streaming of the current image, live streaming scores along with the current leader board. After the competition they can review their own images - along with audio of the judges critiques as well as any other image from ANY affiliate organization. Speakers and workshops - we have moved all of our workshop to The California Center for the Digital Arts in Santa Ana for the simple reason that they are providing us with their large presentation room along with the use of several fully stocked studios. This, of course, makes our studio workshops much easier for the participants and the instructions. For 2018, we are lining up an entire year of speakers (check out the Calendar) which will cover a broad spectrum of marketing, shooting techniques, and software discussions/instruction. During 2017 we did not have any “safari” outings and we intend to return to this activity in 2018 - as of this writing we have scheduled three outings. Check out the calendar in October for details on these outings. Most importantly, we’d like to hear from you! Things that you love…things that you hate…things that you’d like to change. After all, this is really YOUR organization and the Board would like to present a program that meets your needs and desires. We welcome your comments and communications and would be delighted if you’d like to become more actively involved in evolving the PPOC. Looking forward to hearing from you,
