*ARRL Joins America250 as a Supporting Partner for the Nation’s 250th 
Anniversary*

ARRL announced today that it is a Supporting Partner of America250, 
joining the nationwide celebration of the 250th anniversary of our 
country in 2026.

America250 is the national, nonpartisan organization charged by Congress 
to lead the commemoration of the signing of the Declaration of 
Independence, a milestone that marks America’s Semiquincentennial. 
Through education, engagement, and service, America250 seeks to bring 
Americans together to reflect on the nation’s history and renew 
commitment to the ideals that unite us.


As a Supporting Partner, ARRL will contribute to America250’s mission by 
highlighting the historic and ongoing role of amateur radio in 
connecting people, supporting public service, and strengthening civic 
engagement across the United States. Since its founding in 1914, ARRL 
and its members have played a vital role in technical innovation, 
emergency communications, and volunteer service in communities.


ARRL President Rick Roderick, K5UR.

“Amateur radio has been part of the American story since the earliest 
days of wireless communication,” said ARRL President Rick Roderick, 
K5UR. “For more than a century, the Amateur Radio Service has advanced 
the nation’s communications capabilities by fostering technical 
innovation, developing a pool of trained and skilled operators, 
strengthening emergency and public service communications, and promoting 
international goodwill. These enduring contributions reflect why amateur 
radio continues to serve the public interest as a uniquely resilient and 
volunteer-driven national resource.”

“As we approach America’s 250th anniversary, it’s important to recognize 
the organizations and volunteers who have connected and served 
communities for generations,” said Jen Condon, Executive Vice President 
of America250. “Amateur radio reflects the spirit of service, 
innovation, and civic engagement at the heart of our nation’s story, and 
we’re proud to welcome ARRL as a Supporting Partner in this historic 
commemoration.”
