SB QST ARL ARLB008
ARLB008 New Section Manager Appointed in Virgin Islands

Fred Kleber, K9VV, has been appointed as Section Manager of the
Virgin Islands Section beginning May 1, 2012. Kleber, of
Christainsted, is taking the reins from John Ellis, NP2B, who is
planning to move out of the Section soon. Ellis has been Section
Manager of the Virgin Islands since 1996. Kleber has served as the
Section Emergency Coordinator of the Virgin Islands this past year.

Ellis recommended that Kleber fulfill his current term of office
that continues until September 30, 2012. In response, Dave Patton,
NN1N, Membership and Volunteer Programs Manager, consulted with ARRL
Southeastern Division Director Greg Sarratt, W4OZK, and made the
appointment effective on May 1.

Nomination petitions are now being accepted at ARRL Headquarters for
any qualified ARRL member who would like to run for the next term of
office as the Virgin Islands Section Manger. See the notice in the
April 2012 (page 80) or May 2012 (page 76) issues of QST for details
on how to nominate someone for this post.
