Belonging to the NPPA

Anyone have any experience with the NPPA? I was thinking of signing up to take advantage of the mentor program that they are running. Just wondering if anyone has used it and had any feedback.

thanks

I’ve been a member since 1978.

If you use the things they offer it’s a great deal. The magazine is terrific and the website is valuable. The insurance programs are probably worth the membership fee.

On a broader level the NPPA lobbies in support of photographers rights, and their voice gets heard.

I am a member but I do not have acces to their insurance programs (wich was one of the reasons y joined). I tried to gcreate some movement in getting acces to the insurance programs to us foreign members living outside the US to no avail. Maybe 2008 will be the year.

I did manage to get a copy of the code of ethics in spanish wich I share with my staff.

O well, as Frakes says The magazine is good, and the sales discounts are good too. Good place to get info too.

LIsten to Bill Frakes (Hi Bill, been a while—I use to be in San Jose). I realize there are issues for foreign members but if you’re in the USA it’s great IF you take advantage of what they offer. Much to be learned. Good luck Ari in your career.
