Allen Pitts, W1AGP, retired in October as the ARRL's Media
and Public Relations Manager after more than eight years of coordinating the
League's promotion of amateur radio to the public and helping local volunteers
to do the same. Pitts was responsible for developing and managing several
recent ARRL public relations campaigns, including "Hello Radio" in
2006, "Emergency Radio" after Hurricane Katrina, "We Do
That" in 2008 and "Do It Yourself" in 2011. At press time, there
was no word on the appointment of a successor.
