Technical Support
Technical Support provides a key service mainly in the form of setting up and running our presentation equipment to support Club events.
This involves setting up our Club projector, Mac Book Pro laptop, audio amplifier, microphones, and operating the lights. As a Technical Support volunteer, you can learn many valuable tips on how to run software and set up presentations.
This information can be helpful if you want to make presentations yourself, or help out at other events that you are involved in. Because many on Technical Support have experience with photography and software, they can be a helpful resource to those who might consider joining us.
Besides, to top it off we are the coolest bunch in the Club!

New Members Committee
The New Members Committee's goal is to offer new members support and provide introductions to the RA Photo Club’s many areas of activities and our programs. We try to achieve our goal by providing monthly meetings that introduce our Club’s many Special Interest Groups (SIGs), some of our Committees, our Studio as well as our on-site Galleries.
Our monthly meetings are scheduled for one hour prior (6:15 p.m.-7:15 p.m.) to the Club's regular Tuesday meetings. All meetings are displayed on the Club Calendar as well as the Home page, top, right corner for the meeting topics. Occasionally an additional meeting will be scheduled within the month which is added to both the calendar and the New Member information box on the Club’s Home page. The Team’s coordinator also provides reminder emails of our meetings.
We hope that our help will provide you with a comfortable entry into the RA Photo Club.
