There are 51 BDPA chapters in the nation. Each chapter averages 45 members (down 6 from last month).Congratulations to BDPA Triangle chapter (president, Rick Leggett) for setting a new chapter membership record high (181) this month ... breaking their previous high of 168 (July 2009). The chapter became the 2nd-largest in the nation for the first time in its history. I will be in Raleigh NC this week for the 2009 national conference. Perhaps we will learn some tips and 'best practices' that can help other chapters grow their membership as Rick and his team have done in Raleigh/Durham area.
We also congratulate BDPA Cincinnati chapter (president, Janice Lee) for breaking back into the Top 10 this month after being dropped out of it in July 2009.
