CHARLOTTE — Commissioner Jacqie Carpenter said she hopes to have a decision on the future site of the CIAA basketball tournaments by late March.
The weeklong men's and women's basketball tournaments is being played this week in Charlotte, where it has been held since 2006.
However, the contract between the 12-team conference and the city of Charlotte expires after this year's tournaments.
Carpenter said the conference will be gathering bids from cities that have expressed interest in hosting the tournaments beginning in 2015 in the coming weeks.
Among the cities interested in hosting the tournament aree Winston-Salem, Charlotte, Raleigh-Durham, Greensboro, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Hampton, Va. and Washington, D.C.
"We are focused on having the best tournament we can then after that, review the bids from the cities and work with our board and hopefully have a decision by late March," Carpenter said. "(The timetable) will depend on how many bids we receive."
The Division II CIAA combined tournaments, the third-largest NCAA basketball tournaments in the country in terms of attendance and economic impact, moved from Raleigh to Charlotte in 2006.
Charlotte City officials have twice since renewed with the CIAA on separate three-year contracts.
Charlotte Regional Visitors Authority executive director Mike Butts said the city plans to make an aggressive bid to keep the tournament.
"Our interest is very high," Butts said. "We have been very pleased to have the privilege of hosting the event. Charlotte is a walkable city with hotels, restaurants and entertainment nearby. And it's a safe environment."
Carpenter said Charlotte has been a "great host" over the past nine years and is hoping they will submit a competitive bid.
"Our goal is to make sure whatever city we go to, whether it is Charlotte or another city, is that it's an open process and one that fits our bid specifications and that we have the best experience for our student-athletes and our fans and a plan that it financially makes sense for us to be in that location," Carpenter said.
The CIAA tournament has been a moneymaker for Charlotte.
The CRVA estimated that last year's tournaments generated a $47.17 million economic impact for the city and immediate surrounding area, including $29.86 million in direct spending. That was down slightly from the $50.5 million impact in 2012 when the conference celebrated its 100-year anniversary.
Carpenter, who took over as commissioner in August 2012, said the conference is recovering financially.
She said the CIAA spent five years in a deficit before pulling out last year, in large part due to cutting down costs on what she deemed unnecessary expenditures.
While the CIAA did not release how much money it generated from last year's tournament, Carpenter knows how important the basketball tournament is to the conference's future success.
The week has become much more than just a basketball tournament for fans, who regularly attend parties that include national celebrities during their stay in Charlotte.
"This is the one of the largest events in the country and we depend on this tournament being successful so that we can distribute a significant amount of scholarship dollars to our membership institutions," Carpenter said.

NEW HAVEN - Bishop Vincent Smith of the Morning Star Church on Dixwell Avenue beamed as he watched the Freddie Fixer Parade march by Sunday, a display of community pride he has seen many time over his years growing up in the city.
“It’s a great day,” said Smith, who was with his wife, church First Lady Yvette Smith, and others for the parade.
Smith estimated he started attending the parade when he was about 5. He said he hopes the parade next year can be bigger and better and concentrate even more on its original intent: community clean-up.

We've never known Kelly Clarkson to not say exactly what she thinks, and true to form, the singer is giving her honest opinion of Clive Davis' new memoir, "Soundtrack of My Life."
In an open letter tweeted from her official account, the singer says she has a different recollection of some events Davis reportedly includes in his book, which details his work with a wide variety of A-list artists as well as personal details,like his bisexuality.
"I just heard Clive Davis is releasing a memoir and spreading false information about me and my music," Clarkson begins, after a proper Texan greeting, in her letter posted to WhoSay on Tuesday. "I refuse to be bullied and I just have to clear up his memory lapses and misinformation for myself and for my fans. It feels like a violation. Growing up is awesome because you learn you don't have to cower to anyone – even Clive Davis."
