> 
> The ARRL Board of Directors will gather in Windsor, Connecticut,
> January 17-18. With ARRL and IARU positions established for most
> pending legislative issues and for the upcoming 2003 World
> Radiocommunication Conference, the Board is poised to tackle
> strategic planning for the next three to five years as one of its
> top agenda topics.
> 
> ''We need to look at our basic assumptions,'' said ARRL Chief
> Executive Officer David Sumner, K1ZZ. ''We will do what we have to do
> to ensure that Amateur Radio and the ARRL will be healthy 20 years
> from now.'' At the January meeting, the Board will consider
> recommendations as to how strategic planning should be conducted
> later this year.
> 
> Sumner said ARRL Board members are interested in how the ARRL can
> stimulate the entry of prospective amateurs from among the adult
> population and explore ways to entice previously licensed
> individuals back to Amateur Radio. He also noted that the Board will
> be asked to ratify the ARRL budget for 2003, which is expected to be
> the last year in a three-year period of planned deficit spending.
> 
> In addition to reports from ARRL President Jim Haynie, W5JBP, other
> ARRL officers and standing committees, the Board is expected to hear
> from technical, ad hoc and advisory committees.
