Board Re-Elects Sean D. Elliot President, Passes Budget

 

DURHAM, NC (January 22, 2012) – The National Press Photographers Association's board of directors ended their two-day annual meeting Sunday by electing national officers and passing a $1.3 million annual budget.

President Sean D. Elliott was re-elected president to his second one-year term, and vice president Michael Borland was re-elected to his post. And board member Michael P. King was elected national secretary, a two-year term. Earlier this year national secretary Denise McGill announced that she had no intention of running for re-election. Treasurer Sarah Evans is mid-way through her two-year term, and her post not part of the election process this year.

NPPA's proposed $1.3 million budget was passed Sunday by a unanimous vote, and the board praised the Finance Committee, treasurer Evans, and executive director Mindy Hutchison for their cost-cutting and money-saving measures during the past fiscal year. The approved budget for the coming year is budgeted "to zero," so that NPPA is spending exactly as budgeted and spending all of its allocated funds without going into the organization's financial reserves.

A more detailed story on all the board's actions and resolutions will be posted Monday
