Two newly elected Directors will be at the table when the ARRL Board of Directors holds its annual meeting Friday through Saturday, January 16-17, in Windsor, Connecticut. Tom Abernethy, W3TOM, will participate for the first time as Atlantic Division Director. Formerly the Division’s Vice Director, Abernethy was elected last fall to replace Bill Edgar, N3LLR, who did not run for another term at the helm of the Atlantic Division. Rod Blocksome, K0DAS, will take part in his first meeting as the Midwest Division Director, following his election to the seat last fall. He succeeded Cliff Ahrens, K0CA, who declined to run for another term as Director.

Two new faces will be among the contingent of Vice Directors at this week’s meeting: Bob Famiglio, K3RF, was elected last fall to succeed Abernethy as Atlantic Division Vice Director, and Art Zygielbaum, K0AIZ, was appointed recently to fill the Midwest Division Vice Director vacancy, created when Blocksome was elected as Director.

As one of its first orders of business, the Board will elect members of the ARRL Executive Committee as well as one-third of the ARRL Foundation Board of Directors membership. The Board also will receive reports from the officers and committees and will consider recommendations contained in the reports.
