Subject: [arrl-odv:34954] Recognizing Staff
Following up on a conversation I've had with many of you and based on
your encouragement, I propose recognizing the ARRL HQ staff for the good
work they do.
For background, I began to think about how we might honor ARRL HQ Staff
for their effort, contributions, and devotion. At first I thought it
would be good to do "something" for long-time employees who had passed
away. After discussions with Diane Middleton, several of you, and,
through Diane, some senior staff, it appears that the most meaningful
thing to do is to recognize all of the staff at HQ. Diane proposed a
bench to be placed in the staff outdoor lunch/break area appropriately
annotated with recognition from board members.
So here's what I propose. Let's place a bench, as Diane suggested, and
mark it with the following plaque or engraving: "In appreciation of ARRL
staff, with gratitude for their dedication to furthering ARRL’s
mission. ARRL Board of Directors. [insert date of dedication]."
The cost of the bench is about $3,000. I will guarantee that amount and
given the long lead-times I asked Diane to proceed with ordering the
stone. Since the bench is from the members of the board, please
consider a donation (in any amount) to support this effort. The
donation may be in the form of a check made out the ARRL with Staff
Bench in the memo line.
73, Art
