I would say for both of us it is NO. While I haven’t check I suspect Bart is subject to the same gift, prize and conflict of interest rules as the Directors so would say no for him also. As for the CAC rep, I’d say it is okay as they are not required to acknowledge the same conflict of interest rules us directors must do annually.

If the organizer can easily make it so we are not eligible for door prizes make this easy for us, instead of having to decline a prize if we are selected.

Subject: [arrl-odv:32635] Convention Prize question.....

In a couple of weeks is the Pacific NW DX Virtual Convention, an ARRL sanctioned event. At the event will be an ARRL Contest Forum, so in attendance will be myself, Bill, AC0W, (as the CAC Liaison), the NW Division CAC Rep, Jim, KI7Y, and Bart, W9JJ from HQ. (Representing HQ Radiosport). Honorary VP Jim Fenstermaker, K9JF will also be at the virtual convention, but not in any official ARRL capacity, or a part of the forum. 

There will be a bunch of different door prizes for attendees during the event, such as DX Engineering and HRO gift certificates, power supplies, antennas, etc. (No Elecraft K4s) :-( 

This is a free event, and none of of us are being reimbursed or paid to be there. (there are no costs.)

The organizer is raising a question as to whether or not any of the above are eligible for door prizes. My first blush says NO, at least for me as the Division Director, and probably YES for Fenstermaker, as he is in no official ARRL capacity in the event, but what about the others?  

Thoughts?
