NCC Volunteer Spotlight
Paul Seto
der Bayerische recently had the good
fortune to interview NCC's president,
Paul Seto. Paul has been the president
for as long as I can remember. It must
be one of the toughest volunteer jobs I
can imagine, but he balances the competing
demands (including interacting
with our sponsors and advertisers)
with aplomb. My hat is off to him.
When I mentioned to Paul recently
that dB needed to identify the next
interviewee for Volunteer Spotlight, he
said " well, volun-tell someone. "
So I did. Let's hear what Paul, our
volunteer-of-the month, had to say.
dB: How did you first become involved
with NCC BMW CCA?

Paul: When I first bought my 2007 E92 335i, I came across the e90post forums
while looking for any kind of information about modding my car. There were a
few local people with similar cars, so we all became pretty close and met quite
a bit. We had this great idea of a huge local BMW meet and I reached out to
NCC leadership to possibly help fund this event and perhaps get a local
September I October
dealer involved. Well, it turned out
that I essentially 'volun-told' myself to
pull this meet together because NCC
allowed me to plan the event, with
insurance, and get reimbursed for any
expenses. With the help of my
e90post friends, we arranged to meet
at Wolf Trap to stage the cars and take
a somewhat scenic but traffic-filled
trip through the area. I was able to
convince Passport BMW to be our
destination where we would gather
after the drive for a catered lunch.
We ended up with pretty good weather,
a bigger and happier turnout than
expected, and the first official NCC
event that I planned under my belt.
dB: How did you first come to be involved with Socials?
Paul: Not long after pulling off that first big event, I ended up starting our
monthly socials. My e90post friends wanted to get more involved with NCC
events, so I arranged for weekly meets at various places across the DMV. Our
first NoVa social was at Chipotle in Alexandria, but then we ended up moving
