Rochester resident Shawn Pierce, owner of Studio Two Seven Nine, LLC in Rochester, and a distinguished member of the New Hampshire Professional Photographers Association (NHPPA), is thrilled to announce his acceptance of the nomination for the position of President of the Board for the 2024-25 fiscal year.

Having joined NHPPA in the fall of 2017, Pierce quickly found a welcoming community and has since experienced significant personal and professional growth. Reflecting on their journey, Pierce acknowledges the supportive environment fostered by NHPPA, attributing much of their development as a professional photographer to the organization.

The formal swearing-in ceremony is scheduled to take place during the NHPPA Annual Conference, slated for April 26-29.

Expressing eagerness to contribute to the association’s future, Pierce looks forward to working collaboratively with fellow board members to steer NHPPA toward continued success.
