Dr. Lee mentioned during MAC's state of the division panel last summer that 
he would like for us to reclaim a leadership role in the scholarship 
selection process and funding.  It was a humbling experience to hear MAC's 
history first-hand, as well as his aspirations for the division.  I would 
like to see MAC make a more significant contribution to the scholarship 
fund, and to secure a matching contribution from AEJMC given his legacy and 
pivotal leadership for both.  Consider this virtual discussion following 
the motion before it is put to a vote.
