Important Information for Members
As you know BCA’s culture is one we all take great pride in; rich in quality, generosity and respect. We’ve made great progress to ensure the attendance and culture at the Gibbons March Madness Event is in line with BCA’s overall culture. This year we intend to keep up that progress. While other organizations and events may work hard to increase attendance, BCA focuses on the experience and the quality of the attendees, rather than the quantity.
In order to maintain our integrity and maintain the Gibbons March Madness Event as the most sought after ticket in town, please be aware of the policies and details for this event listed below.
Purpose
The purpose of the March Madness Event is to provide the opportunity and the environment for face-to-face interactions with fellow BCA Members and their select invited guests. Different from other BCA maintenance points, the MME is an environment where members can spend much longer periods of time building the relationship and enjoying time together on a slightly more social level.
We encourage and invite you to find a seat on one of the couches at the event and chat with your BCA family and friends. With nearly 800 people in attendance last year, there will still be plenty of opportunities for relationship building.
