p18 item 26 - Did we really award the 2017 professional media award for video reporting for an interview that took place in May 2018?

I spoke with Vice Director Bill Morine who is the board liaison to the Public Relations Committee. He is at a Hamfest, but recalls that the Bill Leonard Award was a holdover from 2017, and the interview took place in September 2017. We do not have access to the primary documents at this time, but it should be indicated in the PRC/PSC minutes.

QSL, thanks for double checking Jim and Bill.

Motion 25 - The interview with KI1U for NPR was on 9/29/17 http://www.wnyc.org/story/ham-radio-operators

Motion 26 - The most recent interview with KI1U regarding Hurricane Maria was on the Weather Channel in May 2018 - http://www.arrl.org/files/file/Media%20&%20PR/ARRL_HurricaneMaria.mp4
Maybe the story the PR committee reviewed was from last fall, right after Maria? I couldn't tell when the show aired from the motion or even which show was but I think there was at least one story on the Weather Channel last fall. I just want to be sure we could reference the right interview and make sure it was during 2017. Aha, just found it:

https://www.facebook.com/TheWeatherChannel/videos/10155878873375921/     It was referenced in the ARRL PR Media Hits page under "Georgia" from September 28, 2017.
        So I guess the minutes are all OK on that point.
