Our current Section Manager, Jim Sellers K9ZBM, will not be seeking
re-election at the end of his term on June 30th.  The ARRL published a
request for nominations in the January and February QST and received
none.  So according to Steve Ewald WV1X at the ARRL, Jim will likely
remain as the SM until they can find a new SM.

I got this from Steve Ewald today:

BEGIN

The ARRL will be re-soliciting for nominations for the Indiana Section
Manager's position in the July QST -- and once again in the August QST.

The "Happenings" column will have an article that reports the upcoming
Section Manager election cycle.

For a little background in the re-solicitation, the notice that
nominations were open for the next term of Indiana Section Manager
(beginning July 1)  was announced in January and February QSTs.

The receipt deadline of early March came and went without any
nominations for Indiana Section Manager.  We expect Jim, K9ZBM, will be
staying on as SM until a new Section Manager is properly named through
nomination or election.

The protocol indicates that ARRL needs to re-solicit for nominations for
the Indiana SM position.  The re-solicited term of office will be for 18
months (starting in January 2009) instead of the normal 24 months (2
years) beginning in July 2008.

Essentially, nominations are already open.  The nomination period will
be announced in the July and August QST.  The nomination period ends on
September 5, 2008.

If there is more than one valid nominee for the Indiana Section Manager
position, then an election would be held in the Fall.   The winner would
then take office on January 1, 2009.   If just one valid nomination
arrives by the deadline, that person would be considered elected and his
or her term of office would begin on January 1, 2009.

More information on the SM nomination/election process and procedures
are found at this link:

END

So, if you are interested, now is the time to make your interest
known. Jim has been a great SM and has given a lot of years to Indiana
Amateur Radio wearing numerous hats. I will be getting this info into
bulletin format and will try to get it to as many of the Indiana nets
that I can.  If you want a copy of the bulletin to read on your net,
you can get it from this list as I will publish it here as well.
