Greetings all,

 

In order to cut down on the number of emails, I have combined those I know who have agreed to stand for election into this initial email.  If you are a Supporting Member who wishes to also run for a Board position, PLEASE DO by announcing your intention via the list in similar fashion to below. Rob Salsgiver resigned from the board in November, but we have two new members who have agreed to stand for election this cycle.

 

Cory Johnson has acted as our Treasurer/Secretary for a number of years, and whose efforts have truly been invaluable. Cory handles the finances, makes sure the taxes get filed, and the bills get paid. His help in this area “behind the scenes” allows others to devote their time to the technical and operational sides of the organization.

 

Doug Kingston (myself) has been heavily involved in most of the efforts to upgrade the network as part of the NetOps group in addition to the Board. He is also the HamWAN "Quartermaster" managing our inventory of spares and sourcing new kit.

 

Dylan Ambauen has been with the organization several years as a contributing member of the NetOps group assisting with troubleshooting and regular maintenance, as well as participating in numerous site commissioning and de-commissioning operations.

 

Kenny Richards has been a long-time member of NetOps team and has been the primary contributor to the maintenance of several sites including Baldi and Buck, as well as helping with many others.

 

Juan Vasquez – part of the NetOps group, avid climber, assisted with site installations, maintenance, funding, and other items as needed. 

 

The voting period for the 5 individuals above will conclude 7 days from now.   Supporting members, please reply in this thread with your Yea, Nay, or Abstain votes.   Remember that each individual is a separate election, you do not have to choose one individual. You can vote for all or any subset.

 

Thank you all for your consideration, and I hope to have the opportunity to work with you further over the next year.
