<div dir="ltr">Hello HamWAN PSDR group,<div><br></div><div>I'm the founder/president of HamWAN Memphis Metro, and an active member of the HamWAN standards group at large. While I don't share the same network and operations technical experience as some of the others, I do have some skills with marketing, team-building, and strategy.</div><div><br></div><div>I would like the opportunity to serve on the HamWAN board to represent the other regions that have deployed HamWAN. I'd like the chance to advocate for and work on:</div><div><ul><li>Developing the working-group standards for HamWAN</li><li>Promoting the project to the international community</li><li>Creating partnerships with sponsoring agencies, specifically in the form of grants</li><li>Forming new HamWAN networks in regions with interested sponsoring hams and supporting populations/topographies</li></ul><div>I am in Memphis, TN, so I will not be able to contribute to any of the physical plant operations in Seattle. I also have little interest in acting as a network operator for the PSDR group, as I already have my hands full with MemHamWAN and frequently ask for help from PSDR. I will provide some different skills to the group, and I would appreciate your vote in favor of me for director of HamWAN.</div><div><br></div><div>I vote yay in favor of myself :) HamWAN PSDR members, please reply with your votes!</div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><p><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Ryan Turner</font></p></div>
