Need a new Corporate Photo?

Still using that photo with a full head of hair, the absence of wrinkles, holding your college diploma?  Help is on the way.

The TMPAA has made arrangements to have a professional photographer at the October Summit to take that corporate headshot you need for print, websites, LinkedIn, and all other media that requires your image.  The Association will email you the high resolution file following the event.

A two hour window will be available on Tuesday afternoon from 1:00pm to 3:00pm.  Interested parties will be assigned a time slot, so no more than a few minutes away from your business meetings will be required.

Photographs are $75 dollars, a portion of which will benefit TMPAA Charities.
