bank account, and we need to review the rules regarding residence. We are currently a Pennsylvania corporation operating in Missouri.
• The Future? The Foundation needs volunteers, including for our website and with marketing assistance.
OTHER BUSINESS: None
MEMBER COMMENTS: Karol Patzer: Karol asked about the upcoming elections. Chuck said that now is time to submit nominations to the Candidate Search Committee. The January ON has informa- tion on how to do this, or you can email
nominations@bmwmoa.org.
Reece Mullin: Reece had numerous questions from the forum: Dennis Darrow wanted to know if there is a way for the board to directly answer ques- tions on the forum. One suggestion was that one of the sub forums could be to/from the Board.
Bud Meade: Bud wanted to know if we have a five year plan. Where will we be in five years? Chuck responded: Part of our meeting this weekend included a review of our current Strategic Plan and updated SWOT analysis. The Staff has long range plans that aren’t quite ready to be released. The 2016 budget has money for a professional strategic plan. We are working to provide awareness and value for all types of riders. The Regional Coordinator Program is new. The market is changing. We need to offer value to every type of BMW rider. Café riders? Scooter riders? S1000 Riders?
Grey Hunt: Grey said that this area is a really cool place to ride and asked, do you have a timeline on the new facility? Bob Aldridge: We are currently leasing from the CCA, including two employees. The CCA is in the process of designing the new building. The site backs up to the BMW Performance Center. The site is owned by the CCA Foundation. They are planning on erecting a building with 15,000 sq ft. which will house their headquarters, a museum and archives for cars and motorcycles.
Question: Will we be held at the mercy of the CCA? Long term, the CCA funding is in a different financial position. They will build the facil- ity, and we will be a tenant. At some point we can be asked to have a financial position. Think synergy vs. tenant/landlord. Together we are even bigger; we can speak with one voice. We are all BMW owners. We gain leverage.
