The Mercedes-Benz Club of America has grown rapidly since 1956 and currently has over 33,000 members in over 90 local sections across the United States, Canada, and many foreign outposts. Each section conducts its own activities, publishes a newsletter of information and events, and has its own officers and by-laws.
Sections frequently organize joint activites with neighboring sections.
The club is apportioned into regions, each administered by a regional director who is responsible for assisting and inspiring the sections in the region. The regional director also fosters the formation of new sections, co-ordinates regional activites and represents the constituents as a member of the national board of directors. The national board of directors is comprised of eight directors at large who are elected by the total membership. In addition to the regional directors who are elected by members of the region, the national officers are elected from the directors at large by an annual vote of the board of directors. CO In 1985, the functions of MBCA were significantly enhanced by construction of a new club-owned building in Colorado Springs which now serves as the national headquarters.
