Pre-Join Checklist:
You can volunteer to the Steering Committee or board by contacting our president or an organizer.
Please read our Policy on Posts and Spam at and Netiquette posted in our Files section under the More tab.
Please provide a photo of yourself when you join so that we know who you are when you join us for our events!
Since we are a group of professionals, not a club, and to be fair to every photographer / business-owner in NVPPA, we require that you enter your real FIRST and LAST name on our Meetup -- not a business name or third party advertiser (i.e. "ABC PhotoTools"). We also need your name to verify your RSVP and registration at our events. This requirement also reduces unwanted and off-topic spam to our membership.
