I'm making some Assistant Director changes after Wade's passing. Now that the ARRL Letter is widely available, one of the past perks of being an AD is no longer anything special. In fact, is there much more than the appointment itself that is inherently of value and received by all ADs?

You have the essence of it.

I've been thinking it might be good to send them copies of IN. This would be somewhat equivalent to reception of the ARRL Letter in the past. I could accomplish this by manually forwarding to them, or maybe we could and would want to set it up to occur automatically from Hq.

Not a good idea. For example, the vacation list is not something for the outside world. As to the other stuff, if it's for members, then Rick Lindquist can include it in a web story.

Do we have any policies or reasons for NOT spreading IN beyond the staff and board family? Also I'd be interested in hearing of any things you do especially for ADs, either here or offline to <mailto:brucefrahmk0bj@gmail.com>brucefrahmk0bj@gmail.com

I don't have many Asst Directors. I invite them to Division cabinet meetings, and sometimes I ask them for input on an important topic. Not really many reasons to keep the AD designation. -- Tom ===== e-mail: k1ki@arrl.org ARRL New England Division Director http://www.arrl.org/ Tom Frenaye, K1KI, P O Box J, West Suffield CT 06093 Phone: 860-668-5444
