[arrl-odv:33249] Treasurer Request
by Niswander, Rick 12 Jan '22

12 Jan '22

Board of Directors: The ARRL has many very valuable assets. The most important ones are its members, its volunteers, and its staff. But of course none of those appear on a balance sheet. The biggest asset that does appear is our $37 million investment portfolio. As you know, at the January Board meeting the Board we will be selecting an external Investment Manager. It is critically important that the investment portfolio be efficiently, effectively, and smoothly transferred to the new Investment Manager. With that in mind, I would like to request that the Board retain me as Treasurer for a few months to ensure that transfer is smooth and complete. Specifically, I request that the Board re-elect me as Treasurer for a brief term ending April 30, 2022 and then, immediately after at the meeting, elect the new Treasurer to assume office from May 1 through the rest of the regular term. This will allow me to (1) help ensure a smooth transfer of assets to the new Investment Manager and (2) allow me to work with the new Treasurer to help him hit the ground running on May 1. Thank you for your consideration and hopefully your support. Let me know if you have questions.

[arrl-odv:33244] Galasso Quote
by Middleton, Diane, W2DLM (CFO) 10 Jan '22

10 Jan '22

During today's Zoom meeting to discuss the 2022-23 Plan, I was asked to share the quote used to put a place holder in the Capital Plan for replacing/repair the parking lot and sidewalks. This quote is about $225,000 and because it was the only one with no clear understanding (yet) of what is best solution for the parking or a quality price I added an additional $25,000, resulting in the $250,000 in the Plan documents. As I mention during the call, this is a placeholder to address the parking lot needs. With the assistance of the new Facilities Manager (who starts Wednesday), we will be talking with a number of contractors and discussing what their professional opinions and recommendations are on exactly how to approach the parking lot. After that process, we will review and decide what is best for the organization. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you.

[arrl-odv:33187] Revised Proposed 2022-23 Plan Documents
by Middleton, Diane, W2DLM (CFO) 09 Jan '22

09 Jan '22

Dear ODV - Attached please find the revised 2022-23 Plan Documents. The net loss improved by $47,000. While we took this opportunity to tweak a few line items with more accurate information, the two major revisions are 1) an additional TI-1 that will be held in June and 2) a reduction in depreciation expense related to software. To help in your review if you have already read the original proposal: Executive Summary - pages that have been updated are pages 7 and 11-14. Appendix 1 - fully updated. Appendix 2 - page 36 has been updated to reflect the additional TI. As a reminder there will be a Q&A session via Zoom on January 10, 2022 at 11:00 am Eastern time. This session will be totally driven by your questions about the Plan. I am also happy to address any questions prior to the call.
