Other Reports:
Programming: Karen and Renee are finding it difficult to find presenters and judges – they are zoomed out. We discussed allowing pictures to be sent ahead of the competition. We decided to keep our competition the way it is. Michael will send Renee an updated list of Judges from MPA, who have an obligation to perform judging as part of their training.
Since David Terao stepped down from running the competition, David Blass has agreed to run the competition for now and we will find someone else to train.
Pete Morton did mention he is judging prints for PSA and they are delivering them to his house via the mail.
