Structure
Everyone who joins our group gets one (1) free month to test us out, see who we are, what we are like, etc. We encourage a trial period to be participatory and get involved. We are a loose group run by many people who just love to see others develop. Note that access or involvement is not stifled by membership options. There are two options for participating in the Charlotte Photography Meetup Group after your trial period as expired.
Pro Members, Yearly Membership
Cost: $42/year Benefits: Free Meetings Free Events / Photowalks / Socials 20% off CPMG Workshops Lending Library Access CPMG Lanyard Contests Participation Pro Member Only Events More to Come as We Can Offer It!
Basic Members, the a la carte Membership
Basic Members are allowed to come to any public event and may have a fee incurred depending on the effort the Facilitator or Leader deems effective from nothing to 5$. Each event will be rated differently depending on who is leading it, the subject matter, the social nature. Many events will remain free, new events may have some form of fee associated with it.
Money Matters, Where Does Ours Go?
Money made by CPMG is kept in CPMG. From transaction fees to acquiring new group equipment, it all goes back into the group. The following is a partial breakdown of where some of those funds are allocated. Quarterly at the Main monthly meeting (South-Side) there will be a short presentation on the current allocation of funds.
