To:
ARRL Officers, Directors and Vice Directors attending the
ARRL National Convention
at
Orlando HamCation, February 10-13, 2022
This
message includes a
registration link for Board
members who are interested in volunteering as part of the
2022 ARRL National
Convention team. Volunteers will each receive an ARRL
exhibitor’s badge (in lieu of purchasing a HamCation
ticket), and ARRL team shirts.
The convention will kick off on Thursday, February 10
with a series of day-long ARRL Training Tracks and a
National Convention luncheon at the DoubleTree by Hilton
Hotel Orlando at SeaWorld. HamCation will host the rest of
the convention on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, February
11-13, 2022 at the Central Florida Fairgrounds and Expo Park
in Orlando — an 87-acre lakefront fairgrounds. This will
mark the 75th anniversary of HamCation!
Our shared convention theme is “reDiscover Radio.” ARRL will
contribute presentations and exhibits organized to build on
this theme, encouraging all radio amateurs to develop
knowledge and skills in radio technology and radio
communication.
If
you’re interested in volunteering,
please complete and submit the following online
registration form by December
15:
https://form.jotform.com/213254214468150.
The online registration form will
help us organize room reservations, badges, apparel and
staffing for the event. Please complete your registration
by December 15, so we can meet the deadline for our
hotel room block. Even if your plans are not entirely
committed, please complete the form with your tentative
information so we can develop counts for hotel bookings. The
registration form should not be shared with anyone else.
If you have a spouse, companion, or other family
member accompanying you—and they’re interested in
volunteering with you—please have them complete a
registration form, too (be sure they mention your
participation, so we can associate their registration with
your own).
