BMW ACA/CCA Issue
BMW ACA/BMW CCA: Response from the CCA National Board
To the Board of the Puget Sound region, BMW Automobile Club of America
In response to your question: "What is and will be the CCA Board's position if our membership votes to remain an ACA Chapter? Will the size or margin of the vote influence the CCA's position?"
Dear Sirs:
The Board of Directors of the PSR BMW ACA has taken a careful, thorough and professional approach to your analysis of a possible merger with the BMW CCA. You have avoided hasty actions and thoughtfully considered the ramifications of such a course of action.
Should your members choose not to become affiliated with the BMW CCA, the Board of Directors of the BMW CCA will also take a careful and thoughtful approach to any action taken in your region. While your International Council status has changed, we recognize the long history of cooperation between the two groups of BMW enthusiasts. However, we have a substantial and growing number of members in your region, who feel entitled to local control of how their dues are spent.
It is a difficult situation. We would certainly consider all of the factors involved, including looking at the number of votes cast and the margin by which the decision is made. No final decision has been made in regards to this issue. When we said we would suspend the decision, pending your process, we did exactly that. An honest answer can only be that we do not know, as no decision has been made. We cannot predict exactly what action will be taken, but be assured we have no interest in acting precipitously.
Cordially, The Board of Directors BMW Car Club of America (By unanimous vote, March 4, 2000)
