What benefits are there to joining NANPA?
What’s in it for me? Why is it important? These are the most frequently asked questions I hear when NANPA comes up in conversation. More than 2,400 people find the benefits of NANPA membership to be worthwhile, and each will give you a different set of responses as to why to join. High among them is the annual Summit. The Summit In February, some 700 members gathered in Albuquerque to take part in the highlight of the NANPA year, the annual Summit. For five days, we came together to talk about nature photography, share images, meet with old friends, and make new ones. Connie Toops, the master of ceremonies, introduced the Summit theme, Legacy, with a look at the legacy of the student scholarship program. We heard from distinguished speakers, including Joel Sartore, Theo Allofs, Mark Moffett, and Gary Braasch. Jim Brandenburg talked about his new project, Looking for the Summer, an expansion of Chased by the Light, which appeared in National Geographic and as a best selling book. Hearin
