CLUB OF THE YEAR

The BMW Clubs community consists of over 800 umbrella organizations, clubs, and chapters located all over the world. Some club organizations make such exceptional efforts in helping grow the BMW Clubs community and promote the marque that they deserve to be officially recognized for their excellence and achievement.

The BMW Club of the Year Awards recognize the exceptional collective efforts of selected clubs or chapters over time. Such achievements result from the dedication and hard work of many volunteers within those organizations. Clubs are considered for Club of the year based on the following criteria:

  • Actively promoting the continued growth and vitality of BMW Clubs and umbrella organizations.
  • Creating a pantheon of benefits for Club members within a Club’s area of responsibility.
  • Recognizing the achievements of Club members in accomplishing the organization’s goals.
  • Establishing and operating major BMW-centric, member-oriented events that demonstrate Club community and enthusiasm.
  • Actively conducting events that promote the marque, including supporting sanctioned events throughout the world.
  • Continuously demonstrating compliance with BMW corporate identity requirements and BCIC policies.
  • Maintaining an active and vibrant officially recognized BMW Club for at least five consecutive years at the time of nomination, with a membership of at least 30 primary members during that same period.
  • Operate an active communication environment within the Club that ensures that all members have access to information from the Club’s leadership and governing structure.
  • Actively organize or participate in events and programs that demonstrate social responsibility and significantly help the Club’s communities, local areas, those in need, and the environment.
  • Achievements that deem a Club to be worthy of consideration for Club of the Year must have been accomplished by or with the help of a significant number of the organization’s members. This is a Club award, not an individual award. Situations in which major achievements are accomplished by one, two, or three people should be considered for other types of
    recognition within the organization.
