Professional Connections

Mark Turner values his membership in these professional organizations:

Association of Garden Communicators is the non-profit association which provides leadership and opportunities for education, recognition, career development, and a forum for diverse interactions for professionals in the field of gardening communication.

Professional Photographers of America is the world’s largest nonprofit association for professional photographers, with more than 20,000 members in 54 countries. This association seeks to increase its members’ business savvy as well as broaden their creative scope, advancing careers by providing all the tools for success…as they have since 1880.

Professional Photographers of Washington provides professional education, networking, and a peer support group to photographers across the state. I currently edit and design the quarterly magazine for the organization.

Rotary is a worldwide organization of business and professional leaders that provides humanitarian service and encourages high ethical standards in all vocations. I’m a member of the Bellingham Bay Rotary Club. Locally we’ve supported the Bellingham Food Bank, Hospice House, Lydia Place, DVSAS, and a variety of other community organizations and services.

Bellingham Regional Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber’s top priority is helping businesses prosper in Bellingham and Whatcom County. I’ve been a member for over 22 years.
