NASWA Notes, August 1996

LAST CALL: A brief reminder that the Association of North American Radio Clubs (“ANARC”) is holding elections for its Executive Board. Those interested in being nominated to serve in this capacity you should contact our Club Representative Kris Field (705 Gregory Drive, Horsham, PA 19044 – or – k.field4@genie.com). ANARC Executive Board members serve a two year term and govern the day- to-day operations of the association. This is where all the decisions are made! From the elected Executive Board members, a Chairman is selected to serve a concurrent one year term. The Executive Board term begins on January 1, 1997 and runs for two years. Your club is looking for one or more of its members that may be interested in serving in this capacity. Currently, we have seven members serving in these positions: Skip Arey, Harold Cones, Rich D’Angelo, Dave Marshall, John McColman, Mark Meece, and John Vodenik. The terms of Messrs. D’Angelo, Marshall, McColman, and Vodenik expire at year-end. If you are interested in serving on the Executive Board of ANARC (and possibly serving as its Chairman!), please contact Kris by August 15th. The election takes place in September.
