The lifeblood of any nonprofit association is its membership. We continue to have a chapter who leads the nation in BDPA members.... BDPA Cincinnati. The chapter ... led by its president,
Frank Hill ... continues to amaze others by its consistent growth. The chapter is significantly larger than the second largest chapter as they continue moving towards the next milestone of having 200 members this year.
We would also like to congratulate BDPA Bay Area (led by Gina Tomlinson) and BDPA Greater Tampa Bay Chapter (led by Andrea Johnson) for becoming an 'active' chapter by having more than the minimum level of membership. Gina and Andrea both realize that we need to work hard to keep membership growth and retention higher.

BDPA believes 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:
- Cincinnati - president, Frank Hill
- Detroit - president, Loraine Stewart-David
- St. Louis - president, Marvis Hollis
- Indianapolis - president, Delano Robinson
- Chicago - president, John Coleman
- Atlanta - president, Victor Montgomery
- Southern Minnesota - president, Ebenezer Kyei-Baffour
- Philadelphia - president, Cedric Edwards
- New Jersey - president, Anthony Dupree
- Washington DC - president, Perry Carter
The number of chapters now belonging to the
'BDPA Century Club' has grown to three. The benefit of
having powerful leadership is obvious when we see that
Cincinnati,Detroit and St. Louis 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?
