[SFDXA] FRC on Board

[Pete Rimmel N8PR]

>> Tony and ALL FRC Members,
>>
>>
>> The Frankford Radio Club Board of Directors (FRCBOD) met in Special
Session last evening to discuss how the club should respond to the
proposed changes to the ARRL Governance Documents that may be considered
at the upcoming ARRL Annual Meeting.
>>
>>
>> Based upon the overwhelming displeasure with ARRL governance that
has been openly expressed by FRC members the FRCBOD unanimously agreed
to compose a letter to the ARRL leadership expressing our concerns and
suggesting actions we would find appropriate.
>>
>>
>> The letter is scheduled to be completed and approved for release by
the FRCBOD late this weekend.  It will be addressed to all ARRL
Directors, Vice Directors, ARRL Officers, and the ARRL CEO.
>>
>>
>> A copy of the letter will emailed directly to all FRC members,
posted on the FRC reflector, and publicly disseminated via the
CQ-Contest reflector.
>>
>>
>> Like the League, the FRC is a "representative democracy" where it's
elected officers and directors are charged with the responsibility to do
what is right for the membership. The FRCBOD feels the present situation
demands making a strong public statement.
>>
>>
>> This will be the first time in the 90 year history of the Frankford
Radio Club (which incidentally  has been a proud ARRL Affiliated Society
since 1930) where the club will issue a public statement on ARRL
governance.
>>
>>
>> We will join our peers, in particular the NCCC, FCG, and PVRC, in
voicing strong opposition to the proposed changes to ARRL's governing
documents. We will request that the so called "Director Code of Conduct"
(that was quietly adopted last January by the ARRL BOD) be rescinded and
replaced.  And we will strongly advocate for improved transparency and
openness in ARRL governance and communications.
>>
>>
>> Thank you (everyone) for expressing your concerns. Affirmative
action by your club leadership is forthcoming.
>>
>>
>> Regards,
>>
>>
>> John Crovelli
>>
>> President - Frankford Radio Club
