 ARRL looking for new CEO

After a long service to the American Radio Relay League (ARRL), and
Amateur Radio generally around the world through the International
Amateur Radio Union, Dave Sumner K1ZZ is to retire in May next year.

On the ARRL full-time staff for 44 years, he had held various titles
including Secretary, General Manager and the Chief Executive Officer
since 2001.

His dedication and involvement is outstanding. He understands and
embraces the many spheres of activity within Amateur Radio.

This includes digital modes, emergency communications, through to a
leadership role taken the battle with interference from broadband over
powerlines.

Dave K1ZZ has his finger on the pulse of everything major when it
comes to Amateur Radio, including licences trends, new technology and
a lot more.

He is an active radio amateur, heard during contests and rag-chewing.
An ANZAC Day contact with VI3ANZAC at Lake Boga in north-west Victoria
again showed his involvement in the hobby.

Much more can be said about Dave K1ZZ, but will be left until his
intended retirement at 67 on May 1, 2016. It’s hoped that he will
remain involved, in some capacity, because of his vast knowledge.
