ward said in part, "...an internet chapter spread all over the country would be useless."
__________________________________________________ __ Not quite correct. Internet groups have been helpful to CCA and vice versa. I support the idea of inviting them into the fold under the rules as proposed. I have been a CCA member snice 1984 and have seen the club grow and become stronger because of leadership willing to think outsided the box. If Ward were correct about the localized appeal of regional chapters, O'fest and Gateway Tech (couple examples) wouldn't be working. I have made friends through BMW CCA, RA and a couple internet tech groups from across the country. Question? What is wrong with allowing virtual chapters? Please only respond if you are a club member. |

you don't get the benefits of chapter membership without paying, if you could then why would people fork over cash to be in the CCA (except for the car rebate) you can't charge some people, and then give other people the same thing for free. |

The national BMWCCA benefits that I can "see" are rebates and the magazine. Usual local chapter benefits that I see are newsletters, chapter magazine, and the occasional local meetings, thats about it. My question is, since people "joining" E90post simply gets access to the forum, why would it be not possible for the forum posting capability itself be seperated from the rest of the "virtual" chapter benefits? On another note, anyone from so cali area wants to go to the driving school held up in buttonwillow mid Feb? Its sat and sunday of the 17th I think. I'm probably going to sign up this week. - oh ya, this is a San Diego chapter event, held up in the location of the SB chapter, while me, as a member of the LA Chapter will be attending. I don't see why geographic limitation must be imposed.

I have to agree that while the idea of non-geographic chapters is interesting to explore, it is not immediately clear that it provides any benefit over the existing system.
While I'm sorry to hear the sad state of affairs down in the LA/SoCal chapter, I have to say that the chapter I'm a part of, the Puget Sound Region, as well as the neighboring ones in Oregon, Spokane, and British Columbia Canada are more active than I would have expected even. The PSR chapter has several track days, car control clinics and even an instructor training day scheduled for this year. We also have an amazing tour coordinator that schedules awesome driving tour runs throughout the beautiful surrounding Pacific Northwest areas. I'm quite pleased about the state of affairs up here. So really maybe the issue is that some folks here should have been running for the board of their local chapters and helping to spruce things up there. They could have used the help of and included any E90Post members in their area and also gotten to know some other Bimmerheads. After all, we're not only E90 lovers are we? I will need to read the ballot in detail before I decide how I vote but it seems to me that this is not an easy fix, "press this button and your poorly run CCA chapter will turn from a pumpkin to a carriage".
