History of a Division There are eight different Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) “Regions” which make up the Northern Pacific (NorPac) Division of SCCA. Within our Division, there are two “Areas” which elect a member to represent them on the National Board of Directors. There are 13 Areas in total, covering nine SCCA “Divisions” represented on the National Board. The two Areas in NorPac are Area 9 & Area 13. These two areas were established through a national SCCA Bylaws revision, approved by the national membership in 2000. The change was effective beginning with the National Convention in February 2001. Area 9 includes the San Francisco & Reno Regions, while Area 13 includes the other six Regions: Northwest, Oregon, Arctic Alaska, Big Sky, Montana, and Snake River. Area Directors are elected by the membership of each Area. Regional Executives (R.E.’s) are elected by the members of each Region and comprise the voting membership of the NorPac Board of Directors. A brief history of the Division’s development follows: 1995 – The first Divisional gathering was held in Portland, Oregon, hosted by Oregon Region. It was then known as a “Round Table” meeting after similar gatherings already being held throughout the country by other SCCA Divisions. The most significant decision to come out of the 1995 gathering was an agreement to do it again in 1996. The meeting was to be held in January so input and issues from the Division could be taken forward to the National Convention, traditionally held in February. 1996 – Round Table was held in Tacoma, Washington, hosted by Northwest Region Consensus from the meeting was to continue the Round Table format on a rotating Region basis. 1997 – Round Table was held in Sacramento, California, hosted by San Francisco Region. Several different Divisional Logo designs were reviewed, and a design was selected. The Regional Executives also reach consensus regarding standards for holding National Races. It was decided that if a Region held more than two National events, a different track or track configuration would be required for the third event. The opening morning breakfast on Saturday and the Sunday and open meeting/Town Hall and breakfast became a standard forum for the Round Table. 1998 – Round Table was in Reno, Nevada, hosted by Reno Region. This meeting featured a tour of the new Auto Museum housing much the remaining Harrah’s Automobile collection (after the lion’s share had been sold at auction). With the developing and expanding format now regularly including seminars and training sessions, it was agreed that renaming the Round Table to the Divisional Convention was appropriate. Having a stable location for the annual meeting was felt to be very desirable and the pricing for the Reno area, along with good airline connections and fares was also felt to be important in making the meeting more accessible and attractive to a larger audience. 1999 – The Convention was hosted by Northwest Region. A formal Divisional Administrative Structure was established. The Board included an appointed Chair, Treasurer and Secretary. 2000 – The Convention was hosted by Oregon Region. A formal set of by-laws was adopted by the Board. 2001 – The Convention was hosted by San Francisco Region. The Divisional officially incorporated as a non-profit entity under the laws of Oregon in 2000. The Pacific Coast Road Racing Championship advisory board was established. 2002 – The Convention was hosted by Northwest Region. The NorPac Board of Directors decided that the larger regions were better equipped and staffed and should assist the smaller regions in planning and organization of the convention so all regions would have a chance to be a host or participate fully in the process of developing and managing a convention. Subsequently, a rotating schedule of Convention Host Regions was established during the interim at the April Quarterly Board Conference Call. The rotation will be on a 4-year basis, pairing larger Regions with smaller Regions. 2003 – The Convention was hosted by Northwest Region. The NorPac Board established an Executive Convention Committee to provide continuity among the Regions and retain a pool of experienced talent and ongoing support to assure the continuing quality of the annual event. 2004 – The Convention was hosted by Reno Region. The convention registration reached a record 145. However, a slight bump to attendance was a major snowstorm in Oregon with the Portland International Airport closed. Seven members were unable to get to Reno. 2005 - Convention was hosted by Oregon Region. A record breaking snow storm in Reno was felt by everyone attending and not able to attend the convention. Overall only 104 members actually attended the event. 2006 - Convention was hosted by San Francisco Region. 2007 - Northwest Region was the host this year with assistance from Big Sky, Montana, and Southwest Montana Regions. 2008 - Hosted by Reno Region A scaled back version this year to focus on the future direction of the division and the mission statement. The BOD decided to go back to the host regions area for convention in 2009. This was our last year at the Atlantis. 2009 - This event was to be hosted by Oregon Region and they decided they didn't want to and Northwest Region took over the responsibility with the understanding it would be held in the greater Seattle/Tacoma area. 2010 - No convention or training was held by the division in January 2010. At National Convention in February the Chief Registrars from the NORPAC Regions gathered and came up with a training plan. On November 6, 2010 the division will hold a training conference in Reno.
