Have it my way!!! Initial start: Council of Professionals
Can easily get things started and moving forward
Later: Membership vote for type of leadership Allows members to evaluate who may fit proper
roles
Executive Board? Structured, requires voting, and additional meetings for
those elected
Council of Professionals? More experienced photographers form council to make Club
decisions
Casual Gathering? A social meeting with like-minded hobbyists; group voting Loosely structured, no leadership, go with the flow format
Going out???
