Member Update: 1/1/23

Happy New Year to all our members and their families from the Executive Council of Hill Country Region.

New years represent change and the beginning of 2023 is no exception for your Region. Charlie Sparks, after leading our Region since 2021 is moving on to the role of Immediate Past President. 

Charlie’s tenure as President has been extremely successful; membership has grown 30%, HCR was named the Ferry Porsche  Region of the Year in 2022, as well as increasing the number of volunteers that plan, schedule and manage all the activities of the Region.

Charlie will continue to be active as a member of the Executive Council, lending his advice and consent on decisions that affect HCR. He also plans to assist in Membership and the Nominating Committee.

Thank you Charlie for providing leadership from the darkest days of the pandemic to become the best Region in all of PCA!

For 2023, the new Executive Committee consists of Tuffy von Briesen, Vice President; Gordie Robbins, Secretary; George Hansen, Treasurer and myself, Carl Rossi, President.
