Dear members,

please welcome our new board member Gavin Farrell.
Ignacio Ferrado Margeli has won a long term project that needs 100% of his time and attention and thus decided it will serve the IVRPA better if he resigns from the board to make place for new power.

Thank you very much Ignacio for donating your work to the community, it was a always a great pleasure to have you with us.

As by our rules and bylaws the member with the most votes from the last election will step into the board, and Gavin Farrell has accepted his assignment.

I am proud to announce on behalf of the IVRPA Board of Directors that Las Vegas 2014 – RAISING THE GAME – The International Panoramic Photography Conference, is on.

The conference will take place at the Tropicana Hotel, Las Vegas, NV from May 25th until May 31th 2014.

“Raising the Game” is this years theme, and you can take my word for it, with this years conference not only IVRPA is opting to raise the game.

Dear IVRPA members,

It's my pleasure to inform you that starting today, we have new officers and structure on the Board of Directors.

You can see the new BoD here: http://ivrpa.org/about/bod

Main changes are the election of Jürgen Schrader as President, the election of Ayrton Camargo as Vice-President and of course the new Director Luc Villeneuve.

Fear not, I am not going away just yet. The BoD asked me to continue working as CEO in a push to have a more regular and active management of the IVRPA day to day affairs.

Dear IVRPA Members,

It's with great pleasure that I announce the IVRPA Board of Directors 2014 Election Results.

This year IVRPA Board of Directors Election saw many candidates. It makes me proud to see so many IVRPA Members volunteering to help drive the IVRPA further ahead.

This echoes how important the IVRPA is to our community and how vital it is to keep it going. Having no shortage of candidates means we can rest assured this organization is here to stay and will certainly have a bright future ahead.

It's that time of the year again when we invite IVRPA members to step up and volunteer to be part of the IVRPA Board of Directors.

This year, three seats on the IVRPA board of directors will be up for election.

Directors finishing their terms in 2013: Carlos Chegado, Sam Rohn and Ayrton Camargo.

The new elect directors will serve two year terms starting January 1, 2014 and finishing December 31, 2015.

To run for one of these seats, log on to the IVRPA website and post your statement of candidacy on the members forum: http://ivrpa.org/forum/members.
