A Message From the NHPPA President

As we begin a new NHPPA fiscal year, I want to take a moment to thank each of you for being part of this remarkable community. Your passion for photography, commitment to excellence, and willingness to support one another are what make NHPPA such a valuable organization.

This year, our focus centers on three key pillars: Education, Connection, and Networking.

Photography is a lifelong journey of learning. Whether you are a seasoned professional, an emerging photographer, or somewhere in between, NHPPA exists to provide opportunities to expand your skills, explore new ideas, and stay inspired. Through workshops, presentations, competitions, and shared experiences, we can continue learning from one another and growing together.

Equally important are the connections we build. Some of the most valuable benefits of membership come not from a classroom, but from the conversations, friendships, and professional relationships formed through our association. NHPPA is more than an organization—it is a community of photographers who understand the challenges, opportunities, and rewards of our profession.

As we strengthen those connections, I encourage each member to help us expand our reach. If NHPPA has provided value to you, consider sharing that experience with another photographer. Invite a colleague to attend an event. Introduce a friend to our community. Encourage a student, emerging photographer, or industry professional to become involved. Every new member brings fresh perspectives, new energy, and additional opportunities for all of us.

I also encourage you to consider volunteering this year. Whether serving on a committee, assisting at an event, mentoring fellow photographers, or helping with membership outreach, your involvement helps shape the future of NHPPA. Our association thrives because members step forward to contribute their time, talents, and ideas.

The coming year offers tremendous opportunity. Together, we can build a stronger, more connected organization that educates, supports, and inspires photographers throughout New Hampshire and beyond.

Thank you for your membership, your participation, and your continued commitment to NHPPA. I look forward to seeing what we accomplish together in the year ahead.

Here's to a year of learning, connecting, and growing together.

Warm regards,

Don Chick, M.Photog., Cr. CPP, D.C.Ph S
