APAG 2017 Seminar on March 11 & 12 a success!

Photo Copyright Ron Sherman

Thank you to everyone who attended the 3rd Annual 2017 APAG Seminar this past weekend! We had 45 attendees and 15 panelists. The response was amazing, and I appreciate all the kind remarks about how inspiring and educational it was! I really appreciate the assistance from our fantastic tech Francesco and Alejandro from ICP, and Efrem, Lily, Pamela and especially Annie, one of our charter members. A huge thank you to my board who is always there when I need them to lend their expertise and unwavering support, Grayson Dantzic, Julie Grahame and Ernest Londa.

I was very pleased to release an advance copy of THE PHOTO ARCHIVE HANDBOOK. Thanks to the contributors to the book, Andrew Smith, Kenneth Falcon, Robin Moore, Julie Grahame and Jennifer Stoots and to the photographers who loaned photos. Also, to my editor Judy Herrmann, and especially my longtime collaborator and wonderful graphic designer, Christine Zamora of CZ Design, whose professionalism, friendly and patient manner always helps us get the job done on deadline! Additional copies will be at our table at AIPAD, and they will also be available online at that time.

I am always appreciative to our generous hosts ICP, who help us every step of the way. Including Mark Lubell who has supported APAG and its mission for many years, and Deirdre Donohue and Maya Benton who were fantastic panelists, and Erica Somerwitz who handled all the logistics, and was a pleasure to work with.

– Mary Engel, Founder and President

Just wanted to let you know how much we appreciated the seminar this weekend on legacy management. The panelists, the flow of information, were truly precious. Everybody gained a better understanding of the end of life issues facing us image makers. Chester Higgins Jr. 

Huge appreciation for the most wonderful and beneficial program you made happen. Truly brilliant!! Susan May Tell
