Who can join PPOGA?

Active Membership in PPOGA is available, by invitation, to owners and managers of bonafide, licensed photography-related businesses. The primary membership is made up of Anne Arundel County, Maryland professionals, but is open to qualified people from the surrounding area, as well. If you earn the majority of your income from photography, or are an owner, manager, or authorized representative of an established photography-related business, we invite you to apply for membership. There are no annual dues, but there is a one-time initiation fee of $25 to help defray costs.

Associate memberships are available to industry vendors for a small annual fee of $50, or the equivalent in products or services.
