Regular monthly meetings: At each meeting we have a presentation with an acclaimed feature speaker with a photography related topic. During the meeting we also review key information for upcoming events. Meetings are usually held on the 3rd Thursday of each month from September through June. Meetings are typically held virtually via Zoom, although we may occasionally hold in-person meetings. Once registered for a meeting connection information will be forwarded to you.
