This would allow for a maximum of $3,000 per Division.  Question raised about the one Division that holds a virtual convention.  Is $3,000 actually needed to host a virtual convention?  Request would be that the six Divisions acknowledge that funds from the SCCA Foundation were given to the Divisions to help make the meetings more affordable.  Motion passed.
