Photo Release
 

ILR may take photographs and videos of members during classes, luncheons, and other ILR-sponsored events. By attending these events, you acknowledge that your image and likeness may be captured and used by ILR for promotional, educational, or other organizational purposes.

If you do not wish to be photographed or recorded, it is your responsibility to avoid areas where photography or video recording is taking place. By remaining in such areas, you consent to the use of any photographs or videos in which you appear.

Revenue generated through memberships, classes, events, and activities supports the ongoing operations of the Institute for Learning in Retirement (ILR) to fund ILR’s various programs and activities. Excess revenues, when available, are prudently allocated to initiatives that strengthen and sustain ILR, including but not limited to the ILR Scholarship Program, endowment development, capital equipment acquisitions, and operational support.
