David,
Mike has a cell phone – two, actually. One is his personal phone and the other is an ARRL phone. We can reach him if we need to.
If he’s going where he can’t be reached he will leave the ARRL phone with someone else, since it’s one of the operational contact numbers we give our served agencies.

Why don’t we furnish Mike a cheap cell phone or pay part of his cell bill with the express purpose of him being able to respond? Since he is the EMCOMM guy shouldn’t he be available? I think we should help facilitate that if we are going to be in the emergency comms arena! IMHO…

Dave, thanks for sending this out to us!
I've reviewed the job description and I have trouble seeing that any part of his job, as described, requires the ability to immediately be reached by phone (unless it's something under #13 "other duties as assigned.") I'll add specifically that #10 does not look like it sets an expectation of '24x365' communication ability. Now, as I understand it, some of functions he presently performs could be time sensitive and being able to activate those tasks/functions can or do depend on timely notification so that someone at the ARRL can start a timely response.
That suggests that some evaluation and review is in order. If we expand his role, does this trigger a compensation review?...
