ARRL Chief Executive
Officer Tom Gallagher, NY2RF, announced his retirement, effective March 2,
after only two years in the League's top staff position. He cited recent
changes in federal tax laws that "made it unattractive for him to continue
working in Connecticut,"
according to the ARRL Letter.
The board immediately created
a CEO search committee and appointed Chief Financial Officer Barry Shelley, N1VXY,
as interim CEO and board secretary. ARRL Comptroller Diane Middleton, KC1BQF,
was named to replace Shelley as CFO.
