One of the greatest assets the CBA has is the federated model; Branches are able to engage directly with members at the local level on a regular basis and National is able to coordinate and marshal resources from across the country to provide national advocacy professional development. I want to continue building on the work of past CBA National and Branch Presidents to strengthen the cooperation within the CBA federation.

There is no 5 step plan or 3 stage proposal here; the only way to continue to improve National-Branch cooperation is to sit down, listen, and put in the work. That is what I promise to do as National President.
