Frank Patek is the Executive Director of the BMW Car Club of America, the largest single marque car club in the world. The Club publishes a monthly magazine, Roundel, and a weekly e publication Roundel Weekly. They explore everything the BMW lifestyle offers including: High Performance Driving Events, Car Control Clinics, Autocrosses, Concours, Show and Shines, social events, leadership development and Club Racing. Their project Street Survival is the creation of the BMW Car Club of America Foundation and is the club’s teen safe driving program. I am a long standing and proud member of the Club. Frank is an attorney and after completing nine years leading the second largest law related organization in the country decided it was time to combine his association management skills with his love of the automobile.
