In Fall 2013 while still a MECDA Chapter, four board officers were voted into office. This would be the last election for that Association. We became an Association with a name pending and temporarily called ourselves the Association formerly known as MECDA. In Spring 2014 we chose the name BABDAMA. We now operate in much the same way as before. Each of the four board officers have specific duties and responsibilities as set forth below.
