BPAMA would also like to take this opportunity to thank the following Board members who will be stepping down.  Their service over the past several years and dedication to the mission of this association is the foundation of our success.  The growth of the association and its effectiveness in representing the BP Marketer has escalated significantly due to their diligence to the mission. 

Please take the time to thank them for their efforts on your behalf: 

Don Holmes	Holmes Oil, Bessemer, AL
Charlie Taylor	Taylor Oil, Avon Park, FL
Patrick Parker	J. H. Parker Co., St. Simons, GA
Chip Bowen	Bowen Oil, Orangeville, IL
David Mangelsdorf	Home Service Oil, Barhart, MO
Edward Holmes	Holmes Oil, Chapel Hill, NC

BPAMA is grateful for the willingness of these volunteers to dedicate their time and expertise in support of the mission.  While they represent the BPAMA membership, their efforts are for the benefit of all BP Marketers. 

The National Board of Directors will convene:

March 17 – 19, 2009

If you have any issues you would like addressed at that meeting, please give your regional representative a call, or contact John Kleine directly via phone:  912-598-7939 or email:  jkleine@bpama.com.

 Your support is greatly appreciated.
