Nearly 200 Club leaders including chapter officers, volunteers, national board members, and national staff gathered for the 2015 BMW CCA Chapter Congress in Dallas, Texas, over the weekend.
The annual conference focused largely on laying out the road map for the next 46 years of the BMW CCA. Many of the presentations focused on membership recruitment, retention, and communications and sparked conversations among chapter leaders on how best to reach the Club's overall goals for the future.
Not only did many great ideas come from the congress, but the newly formed Recognition Committee presented their first round of awards during Saturday night's banquet, which honored the achievements of many of the Club's chapters in terms of charity dollars raised, volunteer hours, and membership growth and retention. Below you will find just some of the highlights from the conference.
We hope to see everyone again soon at one of the many upcoming national events on the calendar!—Chris Hennecy
