Rick Roderick, W5UR, won
re-election as ARRL President by just one vote at the League's January board of
directors meeting, deflecting a challenge by Pacific Division Director Jim
Tiemstra, K6JAT, on an 8-7 tally. First Vice President Greg Widin, K0GW, did
not seek re-election, and he was succeeded by New England Division Vice
Director Mike Raisbeck, K1TWF, who was the only nominee, according to the ARRL Letter.
As reported last month,
the board voted not to renew the contract of CEO Howard Michel, WB2ITX, and
named a search committee to make recommendations for a replacement.
