FCC-SoCal is actively searching for FCC members interested in contributing articles, stories, opinion pieces, and advice columns to the fccsocal.org website and to quarterly newsletters. If you have something to say, large or small, and want to share it with other members, we invite you to email the site editor and administrator, Ben Luce at [email protected]. All contributions by members are welcome and appreciated.

A member-only online community sponsored by FCC-SoCal is currently in development. A release date has not yet been announced.

FCC-SoCal members are encouraged to contribute their best and favorite photos to the galleries. If you are contributing only a handful at a time, feel free to email them directly to the site administrator,  Ben Luce at [email protected] with a few details about the subject matter. For larger contributions, an alternate method will be arranged to transfer the files. Suggestions for new galleries are also welcome. Ben Luce is the contact for all matters related to photos and galleries. Submissions are welcome and appreciated.

Important to keep in mind: Do not submit photos unless you can claim to be the author with full control over the publishing rights and with the consent of individuals represented in the photos. Do not submit photos that pose a privacy risk, such as ones that show children with legible name tags. FCC-SoCal reserves editorial control over all content on the site…meaning an unsolicited submission does not guarantee publication.
