>Members of the ARRL's Great Lakes Division have elected Jim Weaver,
>K8JE, of Mason, Ohio, to lead their division for the next three
>years.  Weaver, with 2295 votes, topped the field in a three-way
>race.  Incumbent Gary Johnston, KI4LA, got 1629 votes, and Paul
>Daley, WT8S, picked up 783. Incumbents were re-elected in contested
>races in the Atlantic, Delta and Midwest divisions.
>
>''I will seek opinions and fully represent the division,'' Weaver
>said during the Great Lakes campaign. ''I will not forget that ARRL
>is its members.'' An ARRL Life Member and an amateur licensee for 40
>years, Weaver also pledged--among other things--to seek ways to
>improve recruitment, promote increased awareness of League services
>and join the fight against restrictive antenna laws, ordinances and
>deed covenant, conditions and restrictions (CC&Rs).
>
>Weaver served as a Great Lakes Assistant Director under four
>directors. He's active in traffic nets, DXCC and 10-10 International
>as well as in local clubs, and he once wrote a newspaper column on
>ham radio.
>
>The former Great Lakes Vice Director, Johnston had been seeking
>election in his own right to the director's position he gained
>following the surprise resignation of George Race, WB8BGY, during
>last July's ARRL Board of Directors' meeting. Former Michigan
>Section Manager Dick Mondro, W8FQT, was unopposed for Great Lakes
>Vice Director.
>
>The only other director's seat up for grabs was in the Atlantic
>Division, where incumbent Bernie Fuller, N3EFN, handily won
>re-election over challenger Anthony Gargano, N2SS. The vote was 3115
>to 1948.
>
>In the Delta Division, incumbent Henry Leggette, WD4Q, was
>re-elected as Vice Director over Nicholas Smith, W4GKM. The final
>tally was 1520 to 629. Delta Division Director Rick Roderick, K5UR,
>had no opposition.
>
>In the Midwest Division, incumbent Vice Director Bruce Frahm, K0BJ,
>overcame a challenge from Bill Wheeler, K0DEW, 1231 to 1036. Midwest
>Division Director Wade Walstrom, W0EJ, also was unopposed for
>re-election.
>
>Dakota Division Director Jay Bellows, K0QB, and Vice Director Twila
>Greenheck, N0JPH, also faced no opposition in their bids for
>re-election. Candidates running unopposed were declared elected.

>Ballots in the four divisional races were counted November 15 at
>ARRL Headquarters. New terms of office begin January 1, 2003.
