Mr. Sumner has served in this capacity twice previously, from 1982 to
1989 and from 1999 to 2009, while employed by the ARRL to manage its
headquarters. Now retired from employment, he joins the other IARU
officers and Administrative Council members in serving as a volunteer.

IARU President Tim Ellam, VE6SH, has appointed Mr. Stafford as
Emergency Communications Special Advisor. In this capacity he will
represent the interests of the IARU and the global amateur radio
