I support J.P.
Kleinhaus, W2XX, because he has done an outstanding job as Vice Director during
his tenure in the past four years. From several sources on the ARRL Board and
staff I have heard nothing but superb comments about his performance.
J.P. has dedicated himself to do an outstanding job as Vice Director and
has done so with honesty, dedication and enthusiasm.
At a time when the ham radio hobby is having serious difficulties because
of the aging of our population, it is critical that younger people be
substantially involved in the direction of the hobby and the efforts of its most
active and representative group, the ARRL board.
The
board of the ARRL should not be an entertainment center for individuals who feel
that they have nothing else to do and therefore want to be in it.
It is imperative that a new generation of younger people becomes
involved, if the hobby is to survive (in whatever form or style it may take). As
someone who has served and enormously enjoyed a brief tenure there, I know that
the biggest problem the board has is a few individuals who don’t know when to
leave. No matter how good their
contribution has been, there comes a time when others, even if young and less
experienced, should serve and bring a different perspective that the board so
desperately needs!
J.P.
Kleinhaus, W2XX, deserves and should unquestionably be reelected.
I will vote for him and I urge everyone to do the same, because he is the
best choice for Vice Director of the Hudson Division.
