Good evening!
Here we have our nominating committee report:
No contacts/nominations received during April for nomination.
Remember, nominations can also come from the floor of the May 2019 meeting, where the vote to elect officers will occur. We would love to see ALERT’s Supporting/Operational members there to offer their vote.
During the April 2019 meeting, the following nominations were voiced for the 2019-2020 year:
- President: Johnnie Knobloch, KJ4OPX
- Vice President: Peter Shaw, KX4LB
- Secretary: Justin Glass, N0ZO
- Treasurer: Bill Rodgers, K4FSO
- NWS Liaison: Russell Thomas, KV4S
“Wait, what, where is Casey going?”
I asked to step aside as president for a year. Nothing bad happened. There are some big-ticket items that I want to focus on.
Items which have my attention for 2019-2020:
1. Training updates – hold more regular NWS station trainings, provide updates to the station manual/quick reference ops guides. Current guides are quite old! We even discontinued an old 20 year policy this year.
2. Email and web servers – visual redesign and better organize call-out/newsletter contacts. Flash player isn’t as popular as it once was, so our website needs a fresh new look, optimized for both desktop and mobile web.
3. Enhance our knowledge of the reaches of Central AL repeaters so that we can cover most if not all of Central AL’s outer fringe areas. We want to cover all 39 counties, in some shape or fashion.
4. Continue reaching out to other clubs, offering ALERT/K4NWS support to them during severe weather, including spreading news about ALERT on Digital.
With ALL of this said, if you’re interested in being an ALERT NWS Operator, please reach out to us on our Facebook page: facebook.com/K4NWS, or to my personal email (or any of our officers).
Not a licensed amateur radio operator/want a failsafe way to communicate when internet/cell networks fail? We can help with that too!
I’m looking forward to a prosperous 2019-2020 year, and pray for low wind shear values!
Best Regards,
Casey Benefield, NZ2O
