The virtual 2023 SCCA National Convention concludes this week (FYI: recorded sessions are now available for on-demand viewing on Whova), but the SCCA National Convention isn’t the Club’s only convention – in fact, there are five in-person Divisional conventions on the calendar that you’ll want to attend should they align with your Division of record.
From educational sessions to training, social gatherings, award banquets, and more, these conventions all boast unique offerings, running the gamut when it comes to reasons to attend. A bonus is that at least five representatives from the SCCA National Office are currently slated to attend each of these conventions, offering attendees direct access to resources beyond their Region and Division.
Southeast Division Annual Meeting and Awards Banquet
Of the five upcoming gatherings, Southeast Division kicks off the Divisional fun with its Annual Meeting and Awards Banquet at the Sea Palms Resort & Conference Center in St. Simons Island, GA, on Feb. 3-5, 2023.
Per the event organizer: The center point of this year’s convention will again be the Awards Banquet at which all SEDiv SARRC, Solo, Time Trials, and rally champions will receive their awards, plus the SEDiv will honor outstanding members with the Reuter, Fitzgerald, Holland, Webb, Director’s, Worker of the Year, Drivers of the Year, and Bobby Clark Awards.
