The lifeblood of any nonprofit association is its membership. As such it is good to note that BDPA membership has grown for the 3rd straight month. In fact, the total membership in BDPA has grown almost 27% from this same time last year! Congratulations to National BDPA
VP-Membership Management Curtis Jenkins for the work being done within his business area to move membership recruitment and retention in the right direction.

We also want to congratulate the BDPA Triangle chapter for advancing seven places to become the 14th largest chapter in the nation over the past month. Chapter president
Carl Hill and his leadership managed to increase membership in their chapter by over 68% in the month of September. I wonder what is the '
secret sauce' in the Research Triangle area of North Carolina?
We believe in the management maxim -- you get what you measure. Let us assess the numbers in order to honor those local BDPA chapters who are demonstrating success in their efforts to recruit and retain members.
Let's take a look at the ten largest chapters in BDPA-Nation:
- Chicago - president, Pamela Sexton
- Philadelphia - president, Eileen Gadsden
- Washington DC - president, Perry Carter
- Atlanta - president, Derrick Brown
- Cincinnati - president, Clarence Larcarte (up 2 spots)
- Dallas - president, Stacy Stewart
- Los Angeles - president, John Malonson (down 2 spots)
- New Jersey - president, Goldie Bonney (up 1 spot)
- New York - president, Renetta English (down 1 spot)
- Middle Nashville - president, Kendall Norris
These are the same ten chapters who led the nation the past three months in a row.
BDPA Cincinnati (
up 3 spots) made the largest move in the top ten ... the chapter gained 40% more members in the month of September and 70% increase in membership over the past 12 months. move towards the top.
There is a new chapter in the
'BDPA Century Club'! The benefit of
having powerful leadership is obvious when we see that
BDPA Atlanta chapter joined joined
Chicago,
Philadelphia and
Washington DC as a fourth member of the
'BDPA Century Club', which means that they each have over 100 members. One of the common denominators for each of these chapters is that they place a high premium on the delivery of quality programs and services to their members. These chapters work hard to ensure that there is a strong return on the $100 investment that each member makes thru annual dues.
What are your thoughts about the value of BDPA membership? What can your local chapter do to improve the value-proposition for you on a personal or professional level?
