Top 10 BDPA Chapters (May 2009, Membership)

There are 51 BDPA chapters in the nation. Each chapter averages 55 members (up 1 from last month).

Congratulations to BDPA Philadelphia chapter (president, Monique Berry) for setting a new chapter record for membership this month ... breaking their previous high of 193 (Mar 2009) breaking their chapter an all-time record high in chapter membership this past month.

It is also worth noting that BDPA Triangle chapter (president, Rick Leggett) jumped from 14th place (Mar 2009) to 4th place (Apr 2009). The chapter also broke their previous high membership total of 118 (Jun 2008). It appears that this chapter is taking advantage of being host of 2009 national conference.

1. Chicago
2. Philadelphia - (all-time chapter record high, 196 members)
