Subject: [FPARC] ARRL SE Division Director election

MAKE A NOTE TO VOTE
FOR
SHARON T. "SHERRI" BROWER, W4STB
ARRL SOUTHEASTERN DIVISION DIRECTOR
In the past few weeks you have received campaign messages from candidates for 
Southeastern Division Director.  

One candidate does not ask for your opinions, doesn't say he will in the future, 
but professes to represent you.  Ask yourself: Have I been represented at ARRL?  
Each amateur should have a voice heard by the Board of Directors and Directors 
should respond to members and keep them informed of the issues.   If elected 
Director I will seek your input on matters coming before the Board. I will send 
you periodic newsletters and provide a Division website with information on 
decisions made at Board meetings that affect you  and activities within the 
division.  I will work to improve communication between Headquarters, the Board 
of Directors, and the ARRL members.  

One candidate says he will solicit your opinions via club presidents, but not 
all active hams belong to a club.  He lists no ARRL appointments, only ARES? 
involvement.  As Section Manager of Southern Florida I and the section staff 
were visible at hamfests and club events to gather comments and answer 
questions.  As Director I and the "staff" of Vice Director and Assistant 
Directors will be visible and listening.  

I offer Proven Leadership.
I am committed to serving the Amateur Radio community:
Licensed 1989
ARRL Field Organization Appointee since 1991
DXCC 1991
Officer in various clubs
Southern Florida Section Manager 2002 - 2010
ARRL Public Relations Committee 2002 - 2007, Chairman'05- '07
Contributor to Section Manager Workshop training materials
Presenter at hamfest forums in Tampa, Huntsville, Birmingham,  Atlanta,  
Jacksonville, Dayton, and the Southern Florida Section 
Presenter at National Hurricane Conference in 2004
Presenter at Florida Governor's Hurricane Conference in 2008
Steering Committee Indian River County VOAD (Voluntary Ogranizations Active in 
Disasters)


For more information visit my website at www.freewebs.com/w4stb  
Please tell your friends about my website and send the information to your club 
members, ARES? groups, and any hams that you know who might not receive this 
message via a radio club.

You will not receive any glossy mailings from me - this time of year your 
mailbox is full of government political mailers.  


I am accepting no donations from individuals or commercial interests.

If you have comments or questions e-mail me at w4stb at yahoo.com (please put ARRL 
Division Director in the subject so I can easily sort it from the spam, jokes, 
and routine communications).
I care about the future of Amateur Radio and if you are reading this, you do 
too.
Help me to continue and improve our great hobby by voting for me.

73,
Sherri, W4STB
