BMW ACA/CCA Issue
Voting Procedure - April 2000
The resolution of the BMW ACA/BMW CCA Issue is almost upon us. The purpose of this article is to review the remaining steps most of which pertain to voting.
Voting Time Line
1. This issue of the Zündfolge contains opinions and recommendations from Board Members as well as any additional input from other members.
2. On or about April 5th (but at least two days after the April Zündfolge is mailed out), the ballots will be mailed out. The ballot will be a Postage Paid Post Card addressed to the independent ballot audit organization selected to count votes. The voting choice will simply be between remaining an independent BMW ACA Chapter or becoming a BMW CCA Chapter.
3. On or about April 7th, the "Get Out The Vote" Campaign will begin.
4. The deadline for returning ballots will be April 26th. The audit organization will count all ballots received by the close of business that day.
5. By May 5th or sooner, the vote will be "announced." We will email the results to everyone on our the distribution list and post them on the Club Web Site at www.bmwaca.org. Results will also be published in the June issue of the Zündfolge. Those who do not have email may call any Board Member beginning May 5th.
What Happens Then?
If we vote to join CCA, we will technically merge with them. We have been advised that the only major pre-merger requirement by CCA is prior approval of our bylaws. By the time you receive this magazine, we will be updating the bylaws so that they can be promptly submitted to CCA for approval. We would expect a prompt response from CCA.
Special Committee on the BMW ACA/CCA Issue: Roger Wales, Stephen Niver, David Lightfoot, Lucetta Lightfoot, Greg Mierz, Tom Cox and Jim Millet.
