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

The 2025 Best Western FDD stipulates that members or their designated operating manager or active management employee must attend either the Annual Convention or a District Meeting each year. The document also defines "Annual Meeting" as the annual meeting of the Members. However, the FDD does not specify a particular time of year when the Annual Meeting is held. Franchisees are required to attend either the Annual Convention or a District Meeting annually.

While the FDD mandates attendance at either the Annual Convention or a District Meeting, it does not provide details on the specific dates or frequency of District Meetings. This lack of clarity may require prospective franchisees to seek additional information from Best Western regarding the scheduling of these meetings to ensure compliance with membership requirements.

To gain a comprehensive understanding of the scheduling and expectations surrounding the Annual Meeting and District Meetings, it is advisable for potential Best Western franchisees to directly inquire with the franchisor about the typical time of year for the Annual Meeting, the frequency and locations of District Meetings, and any associated costs for attending these events.
