History
The Northern Short Course in Photojournalism was founded in 1981, by the Directors of Regions 1, 2 and 3 as a joint educational program of those three regions. In 1986 the NPPA Board of Directors resolved that the NSC program be chartered and amended to be included in the Constitution and By-Laws under division XI, Special (Educational) Programs and Projects as section H. The NSC operates in conjunction with, but separate from the NPPA, and is governed by its own NSC board.
Administrative Staff

The regional officers of regions 1, 2 and 3 also serve on the NSC Board. They include; Don Himsel R-1 Director; John Walker, R-1 Associate Director; Todd Maisel, R-2 Director; Mark Dye, R-2 Associate Director; Ted VanPelt, R-3 Director; Caroline Couig, R-3 Associate Director. The Northern Short Course receives support from the NPPA National Office, especially Executive Director, Jim Straight, as well as local support. The NSC also gratefully acknowledges the support it has received from the photo manufacturers and suppliers who make this conference such a success every year.
Financial statement of the NSC
Registration fees are applied directly to sponsoring the activities (i.e.: cost of travel and lodging for speakers and judges, promotion and mailings, awards and rental of AV equipment). The Northern Short Course gratefully acknowledges the support of all of our corporate sponsors and the many volunteers who make this event possible every year.
