WHEREAS, For over 50 years the CIAA has conducted a postseason basketball
tournament which has been held for the last 50 years in Virginia and North Carolina; and

WHEREAS, Winston-Salem, North Carolina has played host to the championships
since 1994 and will continue to be the host site through 1999; and
