Here are the leaders who guided the club from its inception through to today. It was their stewardship that grew the region from a handfull of enthusiasts in 1954 to a vibrant organization with an annual budget of more that $500,000 and over 3000 members and associate members today. The management and operation of the club is still entirely voluntary. The growth and the value of the club to our members is in the hands of the members themselves. We owe a great debt to those who volunteer their time and talent to make the club what it is today. These past Presidents were the leaders that inspired the many hundreds of dedicated volunteers that made it possible.

POTOMAC REGION PAST PRESIDENTS

by George Whitmore, Potomac Region Historian

On this Presidents’ Day 2006, PCA Potomac Region would like to recognize all its Past Presidents.  Your region presidents have guided Potomac Region since its inception in 1954 through the succeeding fifty-one years.  In 1992 then President Tom Walker initiated a Past Presidents pin, which was first, presented at the 1993 Potomac Region picnic at Senica Park.  Several past Presidents who attended, including 1968 President Joe Berger received the first pins.

Since that time at some prominent Potomac function, to permit public recognition, Potomac’s past Presidents have been presented a PCA Potomac Region Past Presidents pin to recognize their service to the region.  Other Potomac past Presidents who could be contacted have been given their pins.   Pictured below is Bill Sholar, the first Founders' Region president.
