During what period each year is the Annual Meeting of the Best Western membership held?

According to the 2025 Best Western FDD, the "Annual Meeting" refers to the annual meeting of the Members. While the FDD defines the term "Annual Meeting," it does not specify the exact dates or time of year during which the Annual Meeting is held.

However, the FDD does provide some context related to the Annual Meeting. For example, the election of directors occurs on or before the second Monday following the date of the first general business session for all Members at the Annual Meeting. Additionally, a Best Western Property's General Manager or active management employee must attend either the Annual Convention or a District Meeting each year.

To determine the specific timing of Best Western's Annual Meeting, prospective franchisees should directly ask the franchisor for the dates, location, and agenda. Understanding the schedule and format of the Annual Meeting is essential for planning and participation, as attendance is strongly encouraged.
