[arrl-odv:24504] Message to SMs

The following went out to SMs this morning. Dave ARRL Section Managers: While this will have no direct impact on the relationship between you as the leaders of the ARRL field organization and ARRL Headquarters, I want you to be among the first to know that I have set a target date for retirement, after 44 years on the ARRL staff, of May 1, 2016. This will become public later today. Information on the process the Board of Directors will use to identify my successor will be forthcoming shortly. Thanks for all you do. 73, Dave Sumner, K1ZZ ARRL Chief Executive Officer
