We are still seeking nominations for ONPA Board of Trustees positions as this is an election year. Currently, the roles of president, vice president, and secretary will be vacated; although, all seats can be contested. An official nomination is required. Please reach out to Kim Barth with a short statement of interest and bio at: onpachair1951@gmail.com. Those interested should be thinking about creative ways of moving the organization into a more active position of photographer advocacy and education as we look to expand the vision of ONPA. Voting on a new Board will be conducted electronically with swearing in to happen on convention weekend.
As we approach the celebration of 75 years, it’s important to recognize where the organization originated and continue towards inclusivity. The photojournalism landscape has changed quite a bit since the 1950’s. With this in mind, the Board worked tirelessly over several years to create revised bylaws underscoring diversity, equity, and inclusion. To that end, a vote on the revised governing language is desired. A downloadable .pdf showing the updated language with the integrated old terminology can be accessed through the voting form, making it easy to read what changes are proposed. Note: all pronouns were changed from the masculine (old) to neutral (new) and not highlighted.
