The Detroit Section is one of 28 local
sections of the Society. Local sections conduct technical programs
tailored to the interests of the section membership. This allows members
to have hands-on input in the affairs of the Society on a local level.
Our membership is composed of film and video professionals in the
Detroit area, throughout Michigan and Southwestern Ontario. Each month,
September through June, we meet at a different location around the area
and present a technical topic of interest to the film and television
industry.
The strength of the Society is in its membership and their interests
and talents. Membership in SMPTE is an important benchmark in your
professional career. It is only with support from its members that the
Society can perform the important work in standards-setting and technical
education that moves our industries forward. Members in our area
(Lower Michigan and Southwest Ontario) are assigned to the Detroit
Section.
As the Detroit Section is locally run and managed, it takes the
dedication of many imaging professionals volunteering their time to make
the Section successful. We are always looking for interested members who
wish to help guide and direct the Detroit Section's technical program and
manage its affairs. The Board of Managers consists of a Chair,
Secretary/Treasurer, and six Managers, who together with the past Chair,
Regional Governor and appointed officers, plan and conduct the Section
technical program. Each year in the spring, Section members elect the
Chair and Secretary/Treasurer, who serve one-year terms, and three
Managers, who serve two-year terms. Any Section member can run for office
and those interested are encouraged to nominate themselves by contacting
the Chair, Past Chair or Secretary/Treasurer.
Non-members are welcome to attend meetings. We do encourage membership
if you have an ongoing interest in the Society. There is usually no
admission charge to attend meetings.
