One of the responsibilities of a photo club Board of Directors or the person who has been designated as the "Program Director," is the planning for membership-appropriate programs during the club year.
PSA has programs and workshops available to PSA-member clubs on DVD or CD. Since clubs develop some unique programs (e.g., Scavenger Hunts, A to Z, etc.) a PSA-member club program exchange has been developed. Field trips usually become an important part of a club's program. PSA has a Travel Aide service available to PSA member clubs that may help in preparing for a club field trip.
The following documents will help the club Program Director to plan programs.

To host a Lightroom 3 Club Event the club must:
1 ) Plan an event with 50 attendees or more.
If you don’t think your club can get fifty attendees, maybe your club can combine with a neighboring club for this event, run the event as a Council of Camera Clubs, or open your event to the public as an opportunity to gain new members.)
2) Designate a member to demonstrate Lightroom 3
3) Attend an on-line training session
Julieanne Kost will host an exclusive live training session on August 25, 2010.
4) Get started by completing a short participation form found at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Lightroom3_Event_Form

• One copy of Lightroom 3
• One camera bag
• One t-shirt
• Five microfiber lens cloths
• Five luggage tags

Exchange: |
In order to keep clubs from "reinventing the wheel," a PSA member club program exchange has been developed. If your club prepares a unique photography experience and you are willing to share it with other PSA clubs, send a Word doc of the instructions to: Joanne Stolte. Make sure the program author's name; the club name; and the city, state, and country are included. If the author would not mind questions, please include their email address. These club programs are listed below:

PSA has volunteers all over the world who are willing to assist any PSA member club with club field trip plans. These PSA members will provide your club with information as to where, what, and when to photograph in the area the club plans to travel. Do remember that these Travel Aids are volunteers; therefore, plan ahead and allow plenty of time for the contacts to take place.
