METRO DETROIT BRIDGE ASSOCIATION
METRO DETROIT BRIDGE ASSOCIATION

The Michigan Bridge Association (MBA) and Southern Michigan Bridge Association (SOMBA) are pleased to announce that the two units are merging into a single unit. The current presidents - Steven Jacob and David Dursum - came together to lead this effort, and members from both Boards were instrumental in supporting their success. The working name for our new unified unit is the Metro Detroit Bridge Association Unit 256. We will have over 1,400 members in the new unit. Nothing substantial about unit operations - including the current tournament schedule and locations - will change as a result.

 

This successful merger has been built on long-time goodwill and successful joint tournaments. Previous merger discussions were undertaken by dedicated Board members from both units. The ACBL is in favor of the merger, and new ACBL Executive Director Bronia Jenkins and Operations Director Brian Weikle have been incredibly helpful in expediting the administrative side of this process. The Board of Directors for the new unit will consist of equal numbers of members from the previous Boards.

 

Merging the units together will make bridge activities in our community more cohesive. Boards will be better suited to collaborate on strategies for outreach and education, advertising and communications, hosting successful tournaments, and recognizing the achievements and milestones of our players. A wider network and single treasury will help with creative player recruitment and retention efforts, strong support for clubs, and efficient tournament planning. Above all else, the new Board seeks to be highly responsive to the evolving needs of our community.
