[SFDXA] Stepping down as Section Manager

[Bill]

> Hello fellow ARRL Members,
> 
> When I took on the duties of Section Manager, I was semi-retired.  It
> was my expectation that I would be able to make a good living by
> working a couple of weeks per month as an Information Technology
> trainer for companies moving to newer technologies.  Unfortunately,
> this did not pan out and instead, I am training college students for a
> career in IT.  While this is rewarding work, being an IT Department
> Head at one college and an adjunct professor at another school has me
> working more hours than ever before.  It is unfair for me to continue
> as Section Manager since this position requires extensive time that I
> do not have.  Luckily for the Southern Florida Section, we have an
> individual who is eminently qualified to take over as Section Manager. 
> 
> Jeff Beals, WA4AW has been indispensable to me as Assistant Section
> Manager and has in fact been running the section for me for quite some
> time.  There is no one who cares more about Amateur Radio, the American
> Radio Relay League, and the ARRL field organization than Jeff.  Over the
> years, he has held almost every volunteer appointment and cabinet level
> position.  As most of you know, Jeff has served as the Vice Director
> for the Southeastern Division and he has well established contacts
> throughout the section, division, and at ARRL headquarters.  I am
> extremely grateful that Jeff is willing to take over for me. 
> 
> In addition to Jeff, who I can’t thank enough for all his hard work,
> I would like to thank all the volunteers in the section who dedicate
> time to further Amateur Radio and the ARRL including those hold or have
> held field appointments, volunteer examiners, instructors, as well as
> club officers and those who support their clubs.  The future of Amateur
> Radio and the ARRL depend on you folks.
> 
> I hope to continue to serve the ARRL field organization especially in
> the area of emergency communications and ARES.
> 
> Finally, I wish to thank all the ARRL members in the Southern Florida
> Section who have supported me.
