It might be more useful to point members to "View Your Profile" where their division and section are both shown.

Marty has a good point. A new member may not know a thing about how they fit in the overall ARRL organization (section and division), unless it's
made explicitly clear to them in their new member packet. Even then, prospective members wouldn't know, in case they wanted to contact a SM or Board member for information.
Some way to look up one's section or division via callsign search, zip code, etc would be a beneficial tool, not considering the IT resources needed to put those hooks in.

Hi, Harold.
Thanks for this info. It appears too me that the "Find your Division" link isn't really that; it's "Find the Division leadership if you already know what Division you're in". Same for the Secions, although those are obvious from the names in most cases. Didn't the old site have a way to enter your ZIP code and return your Section and Division? If so, is the same capability available on the new site, and can we put a link to it on this contact page?

Hi,
We have now added an HQ Staff Contacts page to the Website. It can be found here:
http://www.arrl.org/hq-staff-contacts
You can get to it from the Contact ARRL (email form) page here:
http://www.arrl.org/contact-arrl
There are also call outs on the left side of the page to find your Section or Division.
So that you are all aware of it, I have copied everyone on staff who is listed on the page along with the Board.
Steve Ewald will forward this message to the SM List and Allen Pitts will forward it on the PR email reflector. Please feel free to send this information on to whoever you believe would find it helpful.
73,
