Candidacy Statements

President
Paul Seto

For the past 15 years, I’ve been honored to serve as National Capital Chapter’s President. During this time, I’ve been the most active NCC member, by far: planning and attending thousands of events, promoting our club to current/potential sponsors and members, marketing events to ensure participation and financial strength, and handling day-to-day business operations to continue as the biggest, most active, and premier CCA chapter in the US.

Obviously, this takes an incredible amount of time and dedication from all NCC volunteers and I wouldn’t ask for anything more from others than I can do myself. Nothing satisfies me more than watching others have fun and smiling throughout an event. This is what drives me; enhancing the CCA experience so that all can clearly see the value and fun that membership brings.

I can’t do this alone, however, but as President, I will continue to ensure NCC is the benchmark chapter across all of CCA and elevate our member’s satisfaction each year. If you have believed in me in the past, then I am asking for your support to continue as President and Chief Volunteer of the National Capital Chapter.

Vice-president
Jack Raymond

It’s been my pleasure and privilege to serve NCC in various roles for the past 13 years. My experience includes Autocross committee member and instructor, co-editor of der Bayerische, our chapter magazine, In-car instructor for Driving Schools, Street Survival event organizer, and now, Vice-President. It was an honor to receive NCC’s Volunteer of the Year award in 2019.

I have the deepest appreciation for all of you: volunteers, participants, members. Without you, we wouldn’t be what we are – the largest, most active chapter in the largest single-marque car club in the world. Here we find camaraderie and common ground with fellow enthusiasts. My goal is to continue to serve you.

Moving forward, my objectives as Vice-President include supporting NCC and the Board wherever needed, including in the area of Membership: growth, acquisition, retention, and member appreciation events. Here’s to a productive and rewarding 2026.

Treasurer
John Walker

My Fellow NCC Members,

I will be an NCC member going on 20 years next year and have been faithfully serving as your treasurer for the past seven years. I look forward to repeating as your treasurer in 2026. If re-elected, I will continue to serve our chapter to the best of my ability.

Respectfully,
John Walker
