Diablo PCA provides a welcoming and engaging community that enriches our member's Porsche ownership experience. What's New This October, Diablo Region will hold its annual election to fill Board of Directors (BOD) vacancies with terms commencing January 1st, 2023. As part of the election process, the BOD is calling for Diablo members who may be interested in serving on the Region's BOD to make themselves known to the nominating committee. If you are interested in running for the BOD, please complete the BOD Application and submit it the one of the members of the Nominating Committee, As the saying goes, "many hands make light work". We are looking for members to raise their hands as volunteers. As Diablo Region members, we enjoy an active calendar of driving tours, DE days, social events and other club activities throughout the year. These events simply don't happen organically. It takes the combined efforts of many volunteers to make the magic happen. If you are interested in helping out, we can surely use your help. We are especially interested in people helping to plan events.
