I have the NW Division Asst Director (Lynn, N7CFO), that is responsible for maintaining our Divison Speakers list checking with presenters with Zoom capability to see which ones would be willing to do presos for clubs outside our Division. I know I certainly would, and have! I think such a database for clubs would be very valuable, as long as somebody at HQ could ensure it stays current. 73; Mike W7VO

Hi Phil.
Great topic! We have talked about building this into our new services for affiliated clubs.
Today, there is no outreach or programming we provide to clubs. That will change once we have restructured how we are performing field services to SM's and clubs - including a new position to be hired. We'd like to provide a database of speakers, but also a monthly 'push' with an internal or external speaker who has a program that is timely and specific for club meetings.
Too often the speakers are known but their content may not be up to date or timely. By having the field services group working with the speakers - especially if they are already producing content on social media such as YouTube - you can ensure that the content is going to be fresh.
One of the people Ria pointed out does very good talks, and his latest presentation on using the NanoVNA caused a few FLARC members to run out and buy one!
There may be good ways to fill the gap between now and then, but that's the way we're headed.
David

While COVID has certainly taken its toll nationally on conducting in-person club meetings and activities, clubs have improvised with online Zoom meetings featuring remote speakers and presenters.
I was wondering if any of you, your Section Managers or ACCs have been compiling lists of online presenters that could be shared with their counterparts outside of their respective sections/divisions.
Perhaps someone at Hq. could even compile a "list of lists" on the arrl.org affiliated clubs page.
Thanks and 73,
Phil Temples, K9HI Vice Director New England Division
