A Note From The President:
The “Board” represents the governing body of the ARA, and I cannot emphasize more how
important it is that the club elects a responsible, strong, and open-minded Board... “responsible”
so that the club never deviates from the its mission to serve Alfa Romeo enthusiasts the world
over, “strong” so that it pushes through necessary changes in order to strengthen the club for the
long-term, and “open-minded” so that it is willing to experiment with new perspectives, ideas, and
resources. For one such Board, we need your nominations and votes!
