All: For those who may not be aware, Walt Stinson was ARRL Rocky Mountain Division director for ten years starting in the mid 90's. He was RM Director during my early years as Colorado SM and his tenure included a stint as A&F committee chair. He's a well-known contester in the division and has participated in DXpeditions as well as being an avid SOTA participant. He is the founder and owner of ListenUp!, a very successful high-end audio and home theater business founded in 1972 with locations in Colorado and New Mexico. He also sits on the board of another non-profit organization. His caring about the League is obvious and his generosity is evident in making this resource available to the officers, directors and vice-directors. Use it as you would any resource: it is a library, a bookstore, a blog and a support community. BoardSource was founded 30 years ago and its mission is to provide education and training and be a resource for the worldwide community of not-for-profit organizations of all types. Its mission is supported financially by corporations such as Adobe, IBM, JPMorgan Chase, Microsoft, BP, Capital One, Johnson and Johnson, Symantec and General Mills. Use it, or not, as you see fit. 73, Jeff, K0RM -----Original Message----- From: arrl-odv [mailto:arrl-odv-bounces@reflector.arrl.org] On Behalf Of Michel, Howard, WB2ITX (CEO) Sent: Wednesday, April 3, 2019 2:26 PM To: arrl-odv <arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org> Cc: Pereira, Carla, KC1HSX <cpereira@arrl.org>; Walton Stinson <wstinson@listenup.com> Subject: [arrl-odv:28089] BoardSource Dear Officers, Directors and Vice Directors, I am pleased to inform you that, because of a very generous gift from Walton Stinson W0CP, ARRL now has a corporate membership in BoardSource. BoardSource is recognized as the preeminent source of information on nonprofit governance and leadership development. This is their specialty, and I am very grateful to Walton for providing ARRL with access to this resource. You will all shortly be receiving an invitation from BoardSource to activate your account. Please do not regard their email as spam. Once you register, you will have access to their extensive resource library. One of BoardSource's key resources is their Board Self-Assessment Survey. BoardSource will set up a survey for us. This will take about 1-2 weeks. Once the survey is up and running, you will have 2-3 weeks to complete it. BoardSource then needs another 1-2 weeks to analyze the data and provide a report. I hope to have this report to present to the Executive Committee on May 20. I believe that it will be very enlightening. 73, Howard, WB2ITX -- Howard E.
