In the Zone
If you are new to PCA, you may not know what a Zone Representative is, or even what a Zone is. In order to adequately manage all 147 Regions across the country, the regions are divided geographically into Zones. Each Zone has a volunteer Representative to help facilitate communication between the Region presidents and PCA National. We are advisors, mentors, sounding boards, and promoters for regions in our zone.
In February I was part of the multi-regional (Maverick, Hill Country, and Lone Star) Club Race and HPDE event at COTA in Austin. It was a phenomenal event with over 200 combined Club Racers and HPDE drivers. A small but dedicated group of volunteers put in countless hours to make sure the event came off without a hitch. Many thanks to David Hodges, Irene Yuan, David Gross, Tim Strehl, George Hansen, and their teams for a job well done.
I also had the privilege of entering my Taycan into the Kemah Boardwalk Concours d’Elegance in March in the Lone Star Region. Chair Derek Robins and team put on a spectacular show of about 50 cars that was well attended. The following day I was warmly greeted by Danny Green, the GTG chair, at an event at the Alara Garage. Dozens of members were there to tour the garage and enjoy the pastries.
Lastly, Maverick Region once again hosted the Zone 5 Presidents’ meeting in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Centrally located, we had representatives from 11 of our 12 regions. National President, Aaron Ambrosino, joined us for the meeting on Saturday, March 9th to provide national news. We also provided lots of information to help presidents in their volunteer roles and gave all the members there an opportunity to ask questions and share ideas with each other. Maverick Region provided multiple social opportunities and some fun on Saturday night. Thanks to Bill & Debi Kruder, and Tom Gomer for their help. Also, thanks to Justin Husman from Phoenix Insurance and Wyatt Gooden from the SimShop for their sponsorship and support.
Hope to see you at an event in your region soon!
See you soon!
