Honoring David Beckham: A Lifetime Member of the Professional Photographers of Ohio

February 4, 2026

The PPO Board recently voted to grant honorary lifetime membership to former PPO President David Beckham.

David’s membership was set to expire this year, but given his extraordinary service to PPO, including guiding the organization through a critical financial period, the Board unanimously agreed his connection to PPO should never end. David has been a mentor, educator, community builder, and advocate for photography throughout Ohio and beyond.
