We Love Our Volunteers!

Professional Photographers of Michigan is a volunteer run organization. PPM is totally dependent on volunteers to keep us moving forward. Without volunteers, we would not exist.

We need volunteers to assist in the areas of communication, hospitality, print competition, working at an event, and clerical tasks. Volunteering is the best way to get plugged in to meet members, make great new friends, and get the most from your organization.

We are always on the lookout for volunteers to make our organization better. If you are interested in volunteering, contact Scott at edir@ppm.org and let him know right away. We'll get you plugged in!

Thanks!
