[arrl-odv:21724] New PR Manager
Dave, Congratulations on finding a new PR manager. I know Sean through his work in the Contest bureau, but will you share his background/experience in PR with me? I may be the only one who is not aware of this, but I suspect there are others in the boat with me. Tnx, Jim Jim Weaver, K8JE Director, Great Lakes Division 5065 Bethany Rd.

Jim, I just forwarded this to the PR Committee which supplements in Sean's words what I sent to ODV last week: Sean Kutzko, KX9X is new ARRL Media & Public Relations Manager; N1TA New Contest Branch Manager ARRL Contest Branch Manager Sean Kutzko, KX9X has accepted the position of ARRL Media and Public Relations Manager. Kutzko joined ARRL as the Contest Branch Manager in October 2007. An enthusiastic operator in contests, VHF weak-signal work and as a backpack QRPer, Kutzko holds a B.A. in Communications from the University of Illinois at Springfield and has worked at several National Public Radio affiliates in the Midwest. "After spending the past six years promoting Radiosport to the Amateur Radio community, I'm looking forward to helping promote all of Amateur Radio and what we have to offer, both within our community and to the rest of the world," Kutzko said. "As well as being a resource to our communities in time of need, Amateur Radio is also a lot of fun." Taking over as Contest Branch Manager is Mike DeChristopher, N1TA. DeChristopher started at ARRL last year as a Logbook of the World specialist and Awards and Programs Assistant. "I'm very excited to be taking over the Contest Branch, and am looking forward to the new challenges this will bring," DeChristopher said. He is active in contesting from his Feeding Hills, MA QTH. Kutzko and DeChristopher will begin their new positions on June 17. In his role as Contest Branch Manager I have been impressed with Sean's ability to explain the whys and hows of contest operating to encourage greater participation outside the existing contest community. I'm certain he will be just as capable of explaining Amateur Radio to non-amateurs. I interviewed several non-amateurs for the position, but I could not envision even the best of them being able to do so.
