Your board of directors are volunteers who help make the events, meetings, and background operations of PPOC happen as smoothly as possible. We are business owners, photographers and most of all people with a huge desire to help our members, friends and colleagues. Each of us joined the board for various reasons, but we are all very passionate about PPOC and are constantly learning better ways to conduct business both for PPOC and for ourselves.
