We do have information in the Directors workbook that states we should review the list each year... Mark, HDX Section 10: Policy Relating to Assistant Directors It is customary for most Directors to appoint assistants, and many Directors have found it helpful to do so. Assistant Directors are personal appointees of the Directors, chosen simply to aid in the normal routine of administering the Division. The Director may appoint them and change them at will. The list of Assistant Directors should be updated annually, with HQ providing each Director a list of current Assistant Directors in their divisions. The Director will then determine if any names should be removed or added. Assistant Director lists may also be updated throughout the year as needed. The Director is the sole constitutional authority within their Division. When appointing a new Assistant Director you must advise the Executive Assistant to the CEO so she or he may: a) Send a letter from the CEO sent to that individual, welcoming them as an appointee. b) Update their affiliation status in the ARRL database. c) Instruct them how to request the ARRL Letter using the ARRL website. Each Assistant Director should also receive a certificate from you (the appointing Director) which can be filled in and downloaded from the ODV section of the website: http://www.arrl.org/files/file/ODV/assistantDirectorCertificate.pdf On Tue, Jan 23, 2024 at 10:56 AM Luetzelschwab, Carl, K9LA (Dir, CD) < K9LA@arrl.org> wrote:
When I became the Director, Kermit sent me his Excel file of Assistant Directors. And those on the list are still Asst Directors. There are twenty of them. I plan to send an e-mail to all of them to see if they want to continue in this position. And ask some of them "what have you done?"
I had one Asst Director complain to me that a hamfest didn't have an ARRL rep. I asked him why he didn't help out, being an Asst Director. No response. 😀 😀 😀
I also remember that Dale WA8EFK eliminated all his Asst Directors.

In the course of normal housekeeping after board elections, Mike Walters brought to my attention that there are currently over 300 Assistant Directors identified in the system. Some of the designations go back to the 1970’s.
I have asked Mike to please give each of you the list of Assistant Directors currently designated for your division. Please annotate the list for any edits, including deletions and additions and return to Mike for processing.
Thanks.
