Good point Dick, Is there any cogent reason why we can't all just send an email saying we've read it? What does the signature aspect of this really add ? How does this process benefit the League beyond what a simple email would do ? De we expect people to agree, then later to deny they agreed ? Why wouldn't a copy of the email fix this ? Why all the formality?

As a reminder, per By-Law 46, section f: “(f) Annual Statements Each Board Member and Vice Director shall annually sign a statement which affirms that such person: 1) Has received a copy of the current Conflict of Interest policy set forth in this Bylaw; 2) Has read the Bylaw; 3) Agrees to comply with the disclosure requirements; and 4) Acknowledges that the League is a non-profit organization and that in order to maintain its federal tax exemption it must engage primarily in activities which accomplish one or more of its tax-exempt purposes. The failure of a Board Member or Vice Director to sign such statement on a timely basis will render that Board Member or Vice Director ineligible to serve or continue to serve.” Please read the attached By-Law and return a signed Certification page to ExecAdmin@arrl.org before January 18, 2023. Thank you, and Happy New Year.
