President’s Message – December 2015

I’ve served as president of the Golden Gate Region of the PCA for the past two years and now it’s time to hand over the reigns to a new president – Andrew Forrest. Two years ago I set myself five goals: The first was to modernize the external look of the club by updating our website and communications. The second was to grow the membership from 2,450 to over 3,000. The third was to increase the number and type of events to address the different styles of driving our members prefer. The fourth was to make sure new members felt as if they were part of the family at all of our events. And finally, I wanted to ensure we interacted well with other regions in the zone and the country.

We accomplished every goal and were even recognized by PCA national for our efforts.
