To: ARRL Officers, Directors and Vice Directors attending the 2019 ARRL National Convention at Hamvention, May 17-19, 2019 This message includes a registration link for Board members who are interested in volunteering as part of the 2019 ARRL National Convention team. Volunteers will each receive an ARRL exhibitor's badge (in lieu of purchasing a Hamvention ticket), and ARRL team shirts. Dayton Hamvention is May 17-19, and is host to the 2019 ARRL National Convention. The shared theme is "Mentoring the Next Generation" of Amateur Radio operators. ARRL will contribute presentations and exhibits organized to build on this theme, encouraging more individuals and radio clubs to serve in mentoring roles, and leading new and inexperienced radio amateurs to become more active, involved, and engaged in Amateur Radio. If you're interested in volunteering, please complete and submit the following online registration form by March 31: http://www.arrl.org/national-2019-arrl-team-registration. The online registration form will help us organize room reservations, badges, apparel and staffing for the event. Please complete your registration before March 31, 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).
