>I am pleased to announce the appoint of three ARES Assistant Emergency 
>Coordinators for Washoe County.  These appointees and their specific areas 
>of focus are:
>
>Rick Klimovich, W7TOC, Public Relations:  Rick has been active with NNARS 
>since its inception.  He has also participated with DCART and has been 
>involved in training offered by both groups.  Rick expressed interest in 
>doing P.R. for us last year and did an outstanding job of organizing as 
>well as publicizing the first ham radio/geocaching event held in Northern 
>Nevada last September.  He is a well-prepared emergency communicator and I 
>look forward to having his continued assistance.
>
>Doug Abramson, KA7FOO, Operations:  Doug brings to us experience from 
>previous ARES/EMCOMM activity in Oregon.  He has been very active in 
>NNARS/ARES and has been a great help to me, particularly in the operation 
>of the Western Nevada Noon Net.  He is a graduate of NNARS' first ARECC 
>Level I training course last fall.  I believe his enthusiasm for EMCOMM 
>efforts in our area will be very positive for the program.
>
>Bruce Wade, N7ZA, Operations:  Bruce has a truckload of previous ARES 
>experience from a very active group in California, including experience in 
>leadership.  He has also been an active member of NNARS throughout its 
>growth.  He is also very active in his volunteer service with the Red 
>Cross, where he is classified as DSHR.  In that service, he frequently 
>travels to other areas participating in relief efforts for major 
>disasters, most recently returning from service in disaster relief on Guam 
>following Typhoon Pongsona.  This service gives him a unique and broader 
>perspective regarding disaster services than many of us have.  Working 
>with Bruce has always been a privilege; with his leadership experience, I 
>always learn something from him when we work together, and therefore I'm 
>very pleased to have involved with WCARES leadership.
>
>I am very pleased that these three gentlemen have agreed to help push the 
>ARES program forward by being a part of my leadership team.  I am looking 
>forward to working with them and incorporating their input and skills into 
>the things we will be doing in the future.
