Message from the Chair
OSI 2020 was particularly challenging in view of the Corona virus and the way it is impacting our lives this year. Not unexpectedly, this has thrown us a curveball in managing this year’s Ocean State International Exhi-bition. Images were judged remotely which slowed down the usual process but the results are now in!
Our judges included Richard Cloran, HonPSA, GMPSA, HonNEC; Sarah Musumeci MNEC; and Deb Page. They were entrusted in judging 1012 outstanding images and as challenging as it was to do this remotely, they did an excellent job!
This year was different from the last as a new platform was used, which was set up and managed by Dennis Goulet. He did an exceptional job, spending countless hours getting the remote access and judging up and running, organizing spreadsheets, and tabulating statistics. It was his dedication and hard work that led to events running smoothly.
Then came putting together the catalog and arranging the data for PSA. This was ably taken care of by our ever-so-competent Tara Marshall.
I take this opportunity to thank Deb Page for managing the Exhibition’s sponsorships. A big thank you to all our sponsors and Deb’s efforts in doing this. It is never easy asking for donations.
The rest of the OSI team, comprising of Tom Davis, Karen Johnson-Nieuwendijk and Sue Babin, all assisted with applying the finishing touches making this a very successful event!
The funds generated by this exhibition are used to promote photography and also includes sponsoring a na-tional speaker once a year somewhere in New England.
I thank you for your support and hope to see you again in 2021!
Karl M. Zuzarte, M.D. Chairman
