Please vote for 

Nancy Austin, KC1NEK

as your new ARRL RI Section Manager 

Voting is open April 1, 2023 to May 20, 2023 for all ARRL members paid as of  March 10, 2023 and residing in Rhode Island.  Ballots will be mailed out to you (by April 3, bulk mail) to elect the next RI Section Manager for a 2-year term July 1, 2023 - June 30, 2025.  It's our first Rhode Island Section Manager election in over twenty years! What's been done? Where are we in 2023? What's the vision forward? What does success look like?

I am President of the 125+ member Newport County Radio Club (Jan 2022-Dec 2023) and a Leadership Development  coach stepping up to lead our Section's ARRL field organization because it's the right thing to do at this time of change. I want to help our ARES program along with all eleven ARRL-affiliated Rhode Island radio clubs to succeed and grow.  I look forward to connecting  people  already working hard  with new talent seeking ways to contribute. There are over 1900 licensed amateurs in the state; let's reach out and talk! Our incumbent RI Section Manager has held  the position since 2002 with no competition. The RI amateur radio community needs new energy now to plan forward and take action on issues and opportunities within our state and across the region.  Please take action, vote for Nancy Austin, KC1NEK - Resilient Nancy, and join in the conversation about what's next.
