The BCxA Central Chapter received its Charter from the BCxA in September of 2003. Since that time, we have grown from 25 members to over 175 members. The Central Region covers 12 states across the northern mid-west. The states included are Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, and Wisconsin.
The BCxA Central Chapter strives to be innovative in our approach to member relations. We have Chapter webinar meetings in which all Chapter members are encouraged to participate. The webinars contain national and Chapter business discussions as well as a brief technical presentation on systems, products, and issues that impact our business activities.

Virtual Meeting
Please join us on Friday, April 23 for our Central Chapter Board Meeting. We will begin the meeting with a 15 minute webinar showing mini-videos of means and methods for testing safeties. Consider this a refresher or an opportunity to see how it can be done another way! This will be followed up with a showcase of winning photos (see information below regarding the photo contest) and the winner’s opportunity to share the story behind the photo if they’d like. And finally, we will finish with the Central Chapter Board Meeting. We see the entire duration of this event not exceeding 45 minutes (15 minutes for welcome and webinar, 10 minutes for photos, 20 minutes for the board meeting). We hope you can join us for this Event. It is always great to get out and meet (even if only virtually at this time) other chapter members.
A sign up link will follow soon.
PHOTO CONTEST: I am fairly certain that we have all experienced a moment in the field where we gazed in awe at something, sometimes in surprise, sometimes in wonder! I know we have passed some of those photos around our own group at times. They can be fun pictures and fun conversations. For example:
SO…..LET’S HAVE A CONTEST! Anyone interested can send in their favorite photo with a description of the photo. Please forward submissions for your caption to the picture above to our chapter secretary Stacy Carey (stacycarey@mwassociates.org) or President Rachel Rueckert (rrueckert@ringdu.com) no later than April 9th, 2021. The Central Chapter board will vote on the top 5. These winners will receive a gift card (we are thinking Starbucks) and the opportunity to take a minute or two or three to talk about their photo at the upcoming event.
