Have you sent your Representative in Congress a letter asking for their support by co-sponsoring H.R.4969? More information about H.R.4969, including letter writing assistance can be found here: http://www.arrl.org/hr-4969
About eight years or so ago the ARRL created a grassroots program for lobbying Congress on issues affecting amateurs. While the outline for the program exists, it hasn’t been operational in our Division. Given H.R.4969 and other potential legislation on the horizon, Vice Director Lee and I would like to get the program running. The first step is to identify and appoint a member of the Division that is interested in taking on the position of Division Legislative Action Chair (DLAC) and has the time to be able to commit to it.
The DLAC appoints, trains and manages one or more Legislative Action Coordinators (LAC) for each state in the Division. The two documents available at http://www.arrl.org/resources-
The DLAC position can be done electronically via email, telephone, and web meeting; the DLAC is not required to physically travel around the Division.
If you are interested in the DLAC position, please email me at k4ac@arrl.org. Please include the following in your email:
1) If you have prior experience that would help in the DLAC position such as grassroots campaigning/organizing or management in a volunteer organization (or whatever you believe would be beneficial)
2) Why are seeking the position
3) Why you are the best candidate for the position
Once we have a DLAC in place, we’ll begin to fill the other positions in the structure.
The good news is that the DLAC is paid the same salary as the Division Director! The bad news is that the salary is zero (the same as all of the hard working Division and Section elected and appointed officials).
Thanks & 73 de Doug, K4AC, and Mike, AA6ML
