Dear Officers, Directors, Vice Directors: Please see the message below, which was sent to Section Managers last week from FSR. We've just published the Fall 2016 issue of Radio Waves. I'd particularly like to call attention to the announcement about the launch of the new Instructor Recognition Program. The article includes a link to a tutorial for instructors explaining how the reporting and recognition system will work. I urge Section Managers to check this out. Also, we have created a separate tutorial available at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IefXJZqWkvM&feature=youtu.be that explains the new management information features of the system available to Section Managers and Directors. You can link to this issue directly at: http://www.arrl.org/files/file/Radio%20Waves%20Newsletter/Fall_2016_Radio_Wa...
