Prior to registration opening, please ensure that your PCA membership information, including address, home/cell phone numbers, and, most importantly, email address, is up to date on your PCA member account. You may update this information online HERE or by calling PCA National at 410.381.0911 before registering.
Follow these two steps to register:
1. During this phase, you will register the primary entrant. You can add a co-entrant, children, and adult guests during this time or during Phase II. The only fee collected during Phase I is the $280 Parade Registration Fee (covers entrant and co-entrant). Housing Reservations are a separate fee from Parade Registration. Phase II Registration will have additional fees for Banquets and Events.
2. American Express, MasterCard, or Visa in US funds are the only accepted payment methods.
Housing: You will receive a Confirmation Email once your Parade Registration Fee payment has been successfully processed (generally within a few seconds, but during Parade registration opening, it may be longer due to the system processing requests). If you wish to reserve PCA housing, the email contains the Link and Entrant Access Code for Conference Direct necessary to reserve your housing, along with an 800 number for Conference Direct if you encounter difficulty with your reservation. Details of the housing available can be viewed on the Porsche Parade website: HERE.
NOTE: You can only reserve one (1) room at this time. If you need to reserve additional rooms, please email Christina Pham at [email protected]. Additional room requisitions will be approved based on inventory.

Wheels are rolling! 2025 is under way and we are off to a great start. This year marks the Oregon Region’s 65th Anniversary. As with most groups or organizations that have matured to such a ripe age, decisions made along the way have shaped the organization into what it is today. I am fortunate to inherit a well-run and well-managed club as I take on the role of President. I am thankful for those who have gone before me and who are now guiding me even as they themselves have stepped away from day-to-day club governance.
For the last nine years, the Club has been funding scholarships for automotive technician students at three local community colleges. The necessary cash to fund these scholarships is generated through the proceeds of an investment account that has grown over the last 20+ years. The Scholarship Program was set up years ago and requires Board approval on an annual basis. For the past several years, there have been numerous Board and strategy discussions as to whether scholarships are the “best” way to disburse $6,000 each year. Although the Scholarship Committee always provided a positive argument for maintaining the funding, the Board continued to struggle with the question of whether scholarships are the best use of the money we have. Once again, the Board found itself at budget approval time facing the same question. At February’s Board of Director’s meeting, the Board voted unanimously to suspend the funding of local community college scholarships indefinitely.
While we don’t have an answer to the question of “best” use of the funds that have previously been set aside, we agreed that scholarships are currently not the best fit. Although automotive technicians are people every Porsche owner needs in their lives and on their list of resources, there is no direct way to track the scholarship recipients and know for sure
if the Club investment of those scholarship dollars will ever come to the benefit of Porsche Club members. The tricky part of the conversation at the board level has been that while scholarships are benefitting a few students each year, what is the benefit to the Club? We would like to support and endorse programs that create a win-win scenario. We give some money, the recipients benefit, and the Club benefits through either goodwill or some other direct benefit.
In addition, and ideally, the Board would like Club members to feel more directly part of this giving pattern. Perhaps we can find a charity we can all agree is a good cause and set up a matching program. Perhaps we fund or support communities in some way. These are all deep, good conversations and decisions to be made. To that end, we will form a new committee to explore charitable or community focused opportunities that we may fund or support in the future. We welcome your input, ideas, and comments. If you would like to be a part of the so-far unnamed new committee, please let me or any Board member know. A couple of people have already stepped forward to spearhead the committee, but we hope to recruit three to five additional members. If you have an interest in community enhancement or thoughts about charitable giving, please get in touch with me or any board member.
I’m looking forward to getting some of the administration work of the Club completed before sunny spring days beckon for driving. There are already several events on the calendar that have me excited. Some are for the experience of driving, some for the chance to hang out with members and feel the passion you have for your cars, and others just to experience something new. I know 2025 is going to be a great year and I can’t wait to see how it all unfolds.
Let’s Drive!
