The following should be considered "Board Confidential" as it is a personnel matter. Further to David's message of yesterday below, you should know that Bill had exhausted his eligibility under the ARRL's short term disability insurance plan and is in the process of applying for benefits under our long term disability insurance policy which pays a benefit, assuming he is "approved" by the insurance company, up to "normal retirement age". Approval of that claim is not in question at this point in time. In addition, Bill has filed a workers' Compensation claim which is in dispute with our Workers' Compensation insurance carrier and that claim is working its way through the investigation process. Technically, it is out of our hands and is considered to be a matter between the insurance company and Bill and his attorney. We are providing information as requested by the appropriate attorneys. 73, Barry J. Shelley, N1VXY Chief Financial Officer ARRL, Inc. The National Association for Amateur Radio (860) 594-0212 www.arrl.org -----Original Message----- From: arrl-odv [mailto:arrl-odv-bounces@reflector.arrl.org] On Behalf Of Sumner, Dave, K1ZZ Sent: Sunday, January 18, 2015 9:49 AM To: arrl-odv Subject: [arrl-odv:23801] Bill Moore, NC1L As most of you know, last July ARRL Awards Branch Manager Bill Moore, NC1L was in a one-car auto accident that caused him serious injury and landed him in the hospital. Last night Pete Chamalian, W1RM posted the following after his most recent visit with Bill: Jan 17 at 6:48 PM I visited Bill this afternoon at Alexandria Manor, 55 Tunxis Avenue, Bloomfield, CT. He asked me to share the following with everyone: After much consultation with my family and as a result of the life changing accident I suffered in July, 2014, I have decided to relinquish my position as Awards Manager at ARRL Hq and focus my full effort on physical therapy. I have enjoyed my years at ARRL and the countless friends I have made within the ham radio community. I hope to maintain contact as best I can vie email and hope someday I will be able to get back on the bands. Email can be sent to me at BillMooreNC1L@Gmail.com and while I plan to read each and every one, I cannot promise to reply in a timely manner. With much gratitude and sincere thanks, Wilfred (Bill) Moore, NC1L Barry Shelley is in charge of HR and has been in communication with Bill regarding his short-term and long-term disability benefits but I do not know what recent communication Bill has sent to Barry, if any. Because of the nature of his injuries the 2015-16 Plan did not envision Bill's return to work. Because this is a personnel matter we will be limited in what we can say about it, but Barry will provide a more complete picture for you as confidential information when we return to the office. 73, Dave Sumner K1ZZ _______________________________________________ arrl-odv mailing list arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org https://reflector.arrl.org/mailman/listinfo/arrl-odv
