1
members for 2015-2018. What's PPA Council & what does it do?
PPA Council is a delegate body that oversees PPA's bylaws. As individuals, councilors assist members and fellow photographers; and as a group, they make the decisions that guide the association. Council elects members to serve on the Nominating Committee and PPA's Board of Directors. Finally, Council also approves PPA degree recipients and maintains PPA's merit system. Volunteer PPA members are voted in to represent their respective states and be leaders in the industry for a 3-year period. Serving as a PPA Councilor is not an honorary position; it's an important responsibility.
Get Involved! The nominating and voting process is electronic; so stay tuned for links and instructions. In the meantime, here are a few Q&A's:
What are the requirements to run? - First, you must be a Professional Active, Additional Active, Life or Retired member of PPA. Second, you must be nominated and agree to carry out the responsibilities, if elected.
How can I nominate someone or be nominated? - Any 5 PPA members (who are Professional Active, Additional Active, Life or Retired members) can nominate a qualified member. In addition, PPA Affiliate organizations (state and local) may nominate a qualified member. Starting April 15 nominations will be accepted online at PPA.com/CouncilElections. How many people can I nominate? - There is no limit to the number of members you can nominate, but during elections you will only be allowed to vote for the number of councilors allocated to your state.
What dates should I keep in mind? - Council nominations open April 15 and must be submitted no later than May 1. Online voting will take place May 15 - June 15. The new Councilors will then take office on July 1 for the 2015 – 2018 PPA Council.
