THANK YOU

I have just finished my year as President of the Professional Photographers of California and I want to say thank you for the honor of being your leader for this last year. It has been an experience that I shall never forget. If you are new to PPC or even if you have been around for a long time, giving back to the organization is the most beneficial thing you can do. You will love meeting new friends and seeing old ones. Again, thank you for the great year.

Michael Collins, Past-President
Professional Photographers of California.
