During what period each year does Best Western hold its Annual Meeting of the Membership?

According to Best Western's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, the timing of the Annual Meeting of the Membership can be inferred from the process for electing directors. On or before the second Monday following the date of the first general business session for all Members at the Annual Meeting, the President and Chief Executive Officer distributes ballots to each Voting Member in the District for which a Director is to be elected.

This indicates that the Annual Meeting occurs sometime before the second Monday following the first general business session. The specific dates of the "first general business session" are not defined in the excerpt, so a prospective franchisee would need to confirm the exact dates with Best Western.

Understanding the timing of the Annual Meeting is important because it is when key governance activities like director elections occur. Additionally, a Member or designated operating manager or active management employee of each Best Western Property shall attend either the Annual Convention or a District Meeting each year.
