Harold,
I would like to share some exciting news with you. Even
though we still have a few days left in the month, I’m pleased to report
that we now have 152,000 members - exceeding the year-end forecast for membership
and achieving a milestone not seen since November 2004. With strong
returns from conventions and field recruitment efforts, direct mail and better
retention tactics, we started August with 150,000 members – another
milestone. As a good comparison of the growth that is occurring in the
organization, August 2006 membership was at 147,283 – making our current
membership 4,717 stronger than just one year ago.
This certainly is good news for ARRL. It certainly can
make it more exciting for our volunteers in the field to feel that they are
part of a winning team. It is always easier to get someone to join in an
active and vibrant organization, which I feel confident to say that we are!
73,
Katie
