photography. They have continued to prosper in business and in image making. Most photographers have
understood the value of continuing education and have returned multiple times. The school has been
successful for many years because of the dedication of its fine trustees. The trustees are selected from the six
New England states. Each state has one representative that aids in the selection of speakers and assists in the
running of the school during that week. Now you have an opportunity to help. PPANE is accepting resumes
