Top 10 BDPA Chapters (Membership, July 2009)

There are 51 BDPA chapters in the nation. Each chapter averages 51 members (down 2 from last month).

Congratulations to BDPA Triangle chapter (president, Rick Leggett) for setting a new chapter membership record high (168) this month ... breaking their previous high of 158 (June 2009). It appears that this chapter is taking advantage of being host of 2009 national conference.

We also congratulate BDPA Dallas chapter (president, Kimberly Vaughn) for breaking into the Top 10 this month. This chapter set a new chapter membership record high (99) this month ... breaking their previous high of 87 (May 2005). The chapter recently held a membership drive at the workplace of one of their corporate sponsors. That appears to be a successful membership group strategy.

The top ten chapters in terms of membership as of 7/1/2009 are:
  1. Chicago
  2. Philadelphia
  3. Triangle - (all-time chapter record high, 168 members)
  4. Atlanta
  5. Washington DC
  6. Detroit - (jumped 1 place this month)
  7. Richmond - (dropped 1 place this month)
  8. Dallas - (jumped 3 places this month; all-time chapter record high, 99 members) 
  9. New York - (dropped 1 place this month) 
  10. New Jersey - (dropped 1 place this month)

The first seven (7) chapters on this list are in the BDPA Century Club with at least 100 members.

BDPA Education & Technology Foundation provides funding to support the programs and services carried out by these chapters at local level. Our hope is that you will consider making a donation to BETF this year. You can securely donate online or you can give BETF a call on (513) 284-4968 to discuss your pledge offline.
