[TWIAR] Ten-Ten Int'l VP resigns, new VP, Director appointed

[Greg Williams]

Mike Elliott, K7BOI #54625) announced his resignation

The Vice President of 10-10 (Mike Elliott, K7BOI #54625) announced
his resignation and gave his reasons in the following message to the
Board Of Directors.

I recently wrote Gerry a letter submitting my resignation as Vice
President of 10-10 effective February 1, 2007. My job
responsibilities have changed significantly over the past 18 months. 

This change has brought about a tremendous increase in my travel
commitment and working hours. In fact, it was this potential for
increased responsibilities that made me consider the question 
of running for re-election as Vice President in 2004. My conclusion
at that time was that I could make the time commitment to satisfy
both work and my 10-10 responsibilities. That was an error on my part.

Bottom line is that my time is so limited that I can no longer
satisfy the requirements of the role of 10-10 Vice President. Also, I
find that I will not even be able to attend this year’s Board meeting
and convention in Omaha.

It has been my pleasure to serve 10-10 in varying capacities through
these many years. The experience of serving as Information Manager,
Director and then Vice President is one that I will forever treasure.
10-10 is a great organization with a great mission and the people
associated with the organization are first rate! I have particularly
enjoyed working with each of you. I was particularly gratified by the
way we all worked together to keep the organization on track after
Chuck’s health issues.

I sincerely wish you all the best. I am sure that the Board will
continue to further the cause of 10-10 
through your collective efforts in the areas of member services,
education and fellowship. 
It is through those efforts that the strong bond among 10-10 members
exists.

Best wishes and thanks!!! See ya on the band.

73 -- Mike, K7BOI

Appointment of Vice President and Director 2007

I am please to announce that Larry Berger WA2SUH #00407 has accepted
the position of Vice President.  Larry will serve for the remaining
two years of the current term.  Larry has been on the Board since
October 1997 and is in charge of managing fund raising activities for
the 10-10 Scholarship fund.  Larry also serves as the liaison with
the Foundation for Amateur Radio who administers the 10-10
Scholarship awards.   Larry’s involvement in Ten-Ten began over 30
years ago.  He served as the Second Area Manager from 1979 until the
centralization of those duties in 1993.  Larry has been a net control
station for his local chapter of Ten-Ten and participates in the
Ten-Ten QSO parties having taken first in the 2nd district more than
once.

With Larry’s move to the Vice President’s position a Director’s
vacancy was created.  Leslie Johnson WA4EEZ #15675 has accepted the
appointment to that position and will serve for the remaining two
years of that term.  Leslie first joined Ten-Ten in 1977 and was
active for a few years before succumbing to outside pressures,
(parenting and work).  Leslie became involved again in 2000 and since
then has been active in the various awards programs and in the QSO
parties.  Since 2005 Leslie has been a member of the Contest Advisory
Committee.  Leslie is the President of the St Petersburg Amateur
Radio Club W4GAC #72039.

Please join with me in congratulating both Larry and Leslie.

73’s
