HCP Annual Membership Meeting
2020-05-19 22:00 - 2020-05-20 00:00 UTC
Dear HCP Member,
During these unusual times, when we are separated physically from our community, we are reminded of just how vital photography is to our sense of connection to each other and the world around us. Creating community through our membership program is at the core of HCP’s mission, and every year we ask all of you to join us – the staff and the Board of Directors – to come together to celebrate our recent successes and to look to the future by voting on new Board Members.
Since we cannot gather together in our gallery space, we invite you to join us online for our Annual Members’ Meeting and a virtual happy hour. In addition to voting on the next slate of Board Members, we will provide an open forum to discuss how we’ve shifted our programs online during this pandemic as well as what the immediate future holds.
Thank you for your unwavering commitment to HCP. We look forward to “seeing” you virtually, and celebrating 39 years of connecting people with photography!
