BHCA’s annual membership meeting will take place on Tuesday, May 6 at 7 p.m. with the election of new officers and directors. Although open to all, only members who have paid 2025 dues are eligible to vote on the slate. The event will be catered by Mera Kitchen with desserts and drinks.
Membership dues can be paid online here. This year’s election is the first since BHCA’s bylaws were amended to gradually reduce the size of the board from 30 to 20 directors plus five officers. The board of directors includes 24 directors this coming year.
