BMW Car Club of America E31 Chapter – The Voice of E31 Owners
February 2023 President’s Update – by Henry Christoff
Hello E31 Owners & Enthusiasts!
BMW CCA National Elections
All E31 Chapter members should have received the email regarding BMW CCA National Elections voting.
Please take a look at that email and vote for those running for National office that you think will best serve
our club.
Jeff Gomon is seeking re-election for Central Region Vice President. He is running unopposed. If you
have been reading your Roundel Magazines you know that the Non-Geographic Chapters fall under the
Central Region of the BMW CCA, and Jeff is our guy on the National Board. He has been instrumental in
assisting the Non-Geographic’s which includes the E31 Chapter. He has been particularly helpful to me
since I have been at the helm of our Chapter. He has done a superlative job keeping me informed
regarding information from National and the general questions I have had about being Chapter president.
Secretary position on the National Board: E31 Chapter member, Mark Hall, is seeking election to the
position of National Secretary. You can read about his qualifications and extensive involvement with
BMWs and BMW CCA in the January/February issue of Roundel Magazine. He is running against Athena
Brekke from the Golden Gate Chapter – who is no slouch as well in the qualifications department and a
BMW CCA member for eleven years. Again, read about her qualifications in the January/February issue
of Roundel.

The Responsibilities
The President – shall officiate at all meetings. The president will be responsible for the general
management of the Chapter including the arranging and coordinating of events or activities and
furtherance of the designed purposes of the Chapter. The president will promote and coordinate all E31
Chapter activities to include: E31 News newsletter production with the newsletter editor; coordinate
national and local events with the Events Coordinator; work hand in hand with the Vice President and
Treasurer of the Chapter; since the E31 Chapter is a Non-geographic Chapter and are unable to host
monthly meetings with the membership, the president will provide the E31 Chapter membership with
regular updates of interest to E31 owners and enthusiasts; be the contact person with National with
regard to Chapter issues; keep the E31 Chapter board apprised of all Chapter activities and issues; be
the principle contact for for E31 Chapter members and enthusiasts world-wide. The Vice President shall
