President’s Message
First, I’d like to thank our immediate past President, Karen Barnett and the 2020 Board of Directors for guiding TAPPA through a year of obstacles and uncertainty. We found new ways to serve our members and new ways to maintain the organization’s relevance in a world like we’ve never seen.
Looking Ahead The way I see it, a lot of good has come out of the hardships of last year. We’ve all found new ways to work and it’s like everything has been re-set. We’ve had time to evaluate everything and now we can build our businesses and this organization anew. My commitment to you is to be steadfast in TAPPA’s mission which includes: • Fostering relationships and cooperation • Promoting the highest ethical standards • Promote education to provide the highest quality photographic products in the industry
I need a favor Our new Board of Directors has a level of experience, expertise and talent to really get things moving quickly and I’m asking for your help. Please let me know what you like best about TAPPA and how we can do a better job of serving you. I’d also like you to consider getting more involved. The networking and friendships that get built are built while we’re working together. There’s a tremendous amount of business that gets referred and a lot of help provided and you can’t benefit from it if you’re not here. Let’s make this our best year ever! With gratitude, Chuck Vosburgh TAPPA President Chuck@VosburghandVosburgh.com 727-743-1740
• Improve the public’s awareness and appreciation for professional photography These four things are the foundation upon which everything we do will be based. This year we will return to live meetings and return to doing live social and educational events outside of our regular monthly meetings. TAPPA Tribune
