A number of Directors asked me to keep this in the loop on this

This is part of our efforts to improve communications with SMs.
Thanks to the Directors who have participated so far.

Harold and Dave,
Here’s the summary of
Tuesday’s evening’s conference calls.
Summary of the May Teleconference
with Section Managers
On Tuesday evening, May 22, Steve
Ewald, WV1X, hosted an ARRL telebridge teleconference with Section Managers of
the Delta and Midwest Divisions. The overall idea of the teleconferences
is to help cultivate better communication between ARRL HQ and the Section
Managers.
SMs participating on May 22
were Malcolm Keown, W5XX (Mississippi); Mickey Cox, K5MC (Louisiana);
David Norris, K5UZ (Arkansas); Ron Cowan, KB0DTI (Kansas).
Delta Division Director Henry
Leggette, WD4Q, also joined the teleconference.
HQ Staff: Steve Ewald, WV1X;
Chuck Skolaut, K0BOG; Rose-Anne Lawrence, KB1DMW.
Amateur Radio education and
promoting Amateur Radio to young people were among the suggested topics for
discussion. For
that reason, Educational Assistant Rose-Anne, was invited this time.
Rose-Anne shared several ideas and some recent resources on how to get
youngsters interested and involved. Scout programs and school settings
with enthusiastic instructors or teachers seem to be key components for
success. Jamboree on the Air (JOTA) events are also proven popular ways
to promote ham radio.
The Section Managers present on the
call felt that it is important for all SMs to receive a “heads up”
or a summary of important ARRL-related news that could have a major impact on
the Field Organization and Amateur Radio before the news is posted on the
Web’s News page or through other media and news
sources. This, ideally, would enable the SMs to be better
prepared to handle phone calls and e-mail inquires when the news breaks.
Malcolm, W5XX, reported on the
Dayton HamVention. Ron, KB0DTI, discussed the emergency operations
surrounding Greensburg, Kansas. Greensburg was hit hard by a
tornado in early May, and ARES and SATERN operators (including mutual
assistance from Oklahoma) have been helping.
A Tentative Schedule for Upcoming
Months (subject to change):
This was the third SM teleconference
so far this year. To encourage active participation and discussion
for each call, I have been inviting the Section Managers from one or two ARRL
Divisions (depending upon how many SMs there are) at a time to participate.
June: Great Lakes and Hudson
Divisions
July: New England Division
August: Northwestern Division
September: Pacific Division
October: Southeastern and
Roanoke Divisions
November: Rocky Mountain and
West Gulf Divisions
December: Southwestern
Division
