Outside the “New” Box
We can no longer merely think outside of the same box. That box is a constantly evolving entity. It takes on a mind of its own. Some days it is narrow, others wide. There is one thing that is certain through all of the uncertainty, that we will always have to think outside of the box, no matter what shape it takes.
Ever wonder why some businesses succeed and some fail? Businesses that fail to evolve will no longer exist. Photography, just like any other service business is built on an ever changing landscape. We must learn to change and adapt. At the end of the day, we are responsible for our own situation.
My view/background gives me a somewhat unique point of view. Having spent the first 12 years of my career as an employee, and now the last 6 as an employer, I have seen both points of view. I will be sharing a perspective that may be painful for some to hear, but eye opening to say the least.
We will also be discussing different ways that you can continue to live and thrive in any economy through unique marketing and promotional ideas. In addition to traditional methods, we are going to discuss the advantage to other avenues in photography that you may not think of.

Program Description
“Beyond the Merit Print”
Master Photographer, Beth will discuss the 12 elements of a merit print in this simple yet informative program. It is great for those interested in entering their first competition as well as a great refresher for the seasoned veteran that might want to improve their scores.
The new forms for membership and dues renewal are up on line. Take note of the new address. We will be mailing all forms to the IPPG PO Box from now on. This should make it easier for everyone. You no longer have to find out the membership directors address.
