June 20, 2014 NOTICE OF SECOND MEETING ALL DIRECTORS: In compliance with the requirements of the Articles of Association and the relevant provisions of the Bylaws, the 2014 Second Meeting of the Board of Directors of The American Radio Relay League, Incorporated, is hereby called for 8:30 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, Monday, July 21, 2014, at the Hartford Marriott Downtown at 200 Columbus Blvd., Hartford, Connecticut. Arrangements have been made for a group dinner on the Sunday evening preceding: attitude adjustment at 5:30 P.M. and dinner at 6:00 P.M. Other group meals are Monday and Tuesday breakfast and lunch, and Monday dinner. Note that there will be a cash bar, not an open bar, prior to the dinners. Purchases from the cash bar are not reimbursable. The meeting is expected to conclude by lunchtime on Tuesday and a number of attendees have made their travel plans accordingly. For this reason the meeting will start 30 minutes earlier than usual on both days. The meeting room is available for our use on Monday evening and it is President Craigie's intention to make use of that time if the meeting is taking longer than expected. Honorary vice presidents, directors emeritus, past presidents, and past directors are invited to attend in observer status at personal expense. Vice directors are authorized to attend with expenses charged to the Board Meeting account. Cash advances are available upon request for those traveling at League expense. Transportation from and to Bradley International Airport will be provided by ARRL van. An accommodation form accompanies this Notice; please fill out completely and return the form or respond by email as soon as possible to Lisa Kustosik, KA1UFZ, at HQ: lkustosik@arrl.org<mailto:lkustosik@arrl.org>. Accompanying spouses are invited to attend breakfast and dinner with the Board family. The tentative agenda for the meeting will be circulated separately by email. Several proposals for amendments to the Bylaws have been distributed by Directors to their colleagues; the deadline to meet the Article 10 advance notice requirement is Saturday, June 21. It is requested that insofar as possible, motions to be submitted at the meeting be prepared in advance in writing so that a copy can be handed to the Secretary at the time of presentation. It is important that the motion as handed to the Secretary be the same as that submitted for Board consideration. While we will have word-processing and duplicating capability at the meeting site, this should not replace advance preparation. If you wish to have a proposed motion circulated in advance, either send it to me as soon as possible or post it on the Board's electronic remailer. Please note Standing Order 30: "Each Director offering a motion requiring the expenditure of funds for implementation shall include with the motion his [or her] estimate of the costs involved and the suggested method of funding those costs." Also note Minute 42 of the 2004 Annual Meeting: "Any motion to create or substantially modify a program or activity shall include documentation of the expected revenue and expense generated by the proposed program or activity." Finally, meeting attendees are advised that the proceedings will be recorded electronically. Sincerely, [ds sig] David Sumner, K1ZZ Secretary
