I’m happy to announce that our election is complete and Bob Martin, a staff photographer at The Free Lance-Star, has been elected president of the VNPA. Freelance photographer and former Daily Press staffer Heather Hughes Ostermaier is our treasurer and Virginian-Pilot staff photographer Ross Taylor is our secretary.

A message from contest gurus Bob and Kevin:
Dear VNPA Members:
The entries for this year’s contest are in and plans for the judging/convention are coming along nicely. The judging and judges’ talks will take place on the same day this year, on March 20th starting at 9a.m. The event will take place at the University of Richmond, in Weinstein Hall, in the Brown-Alley Room.
(http://www.richmond.edu/visit/maps/index.html & http://www.richmond.edu/visit/maps/index.html). Since UR is a little confusing to navigate, we plan to put up signs which will lead the way. If you know where UR’s Boatwright Library is, Weinstein is directly behind the library. Parking should not be a problem and is free, since it’s a weekend. VNPA hopes that the central location in Richmond will draw more participation.
