[arrl-odv:22466] ARRL Centennial Convention Banquet Speaker Choice?

20 FEB 2014 - 1635 CST To paraphrase a comment by one of my constituents, I am befuddled and a bit disappointed by the choice of FEMA Administrator, Craig Fugate, KK4INZ, as our centennial convention banquet speaker. I would like to know his qualifications, how and why was he selected, and who made the final decision. Does anybody know the subject of his presentation? I have never met or heard anything about Mr. Fugate. But on the surface, it seems to me that we could have made a far stronger, attention-getting, choice for our banquet speaker. I sincerely hope that my initial impression/reaction turns out to be totally wrong. - Dick Isely, W9GIG

Dick, I can't imagine why your constituent would pose such a question. Maybe he's thinking of Brownie. Please go back and reread the report on the meeting we had with Craig last March.
