Hi all:
I hope everyone is having a great super bowl weekend!
Now that the board meeting is behind us, here's a few things
to keep in mind:
1.) The new ARRL Policy on Board Governance and Conduct of
Members of the Board of Directors and Vice Directors is posted on these links:

http://www.arrl.org/odv

2.) On January 31, Tom sent out a set of talking points covering
certain actions at the board meeting. See ODV:26183.
3.) Jay, Chris, and Tom will continue their work on review
of the By-Laws to bring them up to date with the guidance of Day Pitney. Part
of that task will be to look at the standing of Vice Directors. I pledged to
the Vice Directors that we will clean up that issue once and for all. I'm not
sure what the answer will be, but we need to get it resolved.
4.) Every Division closed the year on negative numbers for
membership totals in 2016. Of course, the dues increase accounted for much of
those results. But, that was last year and we need to really focus on turning
those numbers positive this year. We are entering hamfest season. Let's get out
there and hit those forums and work those ARRL booths. Let's make the rounds to
the club meetings and RECRUIT!
Watch the numbers:

Will your Division be the winner this year?
