PSA

Wisconsin Chapter

The Wisconsin Chapter received its Charter from the Photographic Society of America (PSA) in 1992. Current membership is about 70 individual members of PSA who live in Wisconsin and Minnesota. We meet four times yearly – November, January, March, and May. Often, the May meeting is part of a weekend-long outing. Currently, we are meeting via Zoom for the three other quarterly meetings.

Chapter activities include:

  • Conducts the PSA Club Showcase

  • Conducts the PSA Individual Showcase

  • Organizes the Chapter Outing

At Chapter meetings, members are encouraged to submit their own digital images for Bring Your Own Images (BYOI) to show, and we also have quality speakers to teach and motivate us to make better and more creative images.
