Have you sent your Representative in Congress a letter asking for their\u00a0<\/span>support by co-sponsoring H.R.4969? More information about H.R.4969,\u00a0<\/span>including letter writing assistance can be found here:\u00a0<\/span>http:\/\/www.arrl.org\/hr-4969<\/a>

About eight years or so ago the ARRL created a grassroots program for\u00a0<\/span>lobbying Congress on issues affecting amateurs. While the outline for\u00a0<\/span>the program exists, it hasn’t been operational in our Division. Given\u00a0<\/span>H.R.4969 and other potential legislation on the horizon, Vice Director\u00a0<\/span>Lee and I would like to get the program running. The first step is to\u00a0<\/span>identify and appoint a member of the Division that is interested in\u00a0<\/span>taking on the position of Division Legislative Action Chair (DLAC) and\u00a0<\/span>has the time to be able to commit to it.<\/span>

The DLAC appoints, trains and manages one or more Legislative Action\u00a0<\/span>Coordinators (LAC) for each state in the Division. The two documents\u00a0<\/span>available at\u00a0<\/span>http:\/\/www.arrl.org\/resources-1<\/a>\u00a0describe the ARRL’s\u00a0<\/span>grassroots program in detail and there is also a training video on that\u00a0<\/span>web page.<\/span>

The DLAC position can be done electronically via email, telephone, and\u00a0<\/span>web meeting; the DLAC is not required to physically travel around the\u00a0<\/span>Division.<\/span>

If you are interested in the DLAC position, please email me at\u00a0<\/span>k4ac@arrl.org<\/a>. Please include the following in your email:<\/span>

1) If you have prior experience that would help in the DLAC position\u00a0<\/span>such as grassroots campaigning\/organizing or management in a volunteer\u00a0<\/span>organization (or whatever you believe would be beneficial)<\/span>

2) Why are seeking the position<\/span>

3) Why you are the best candidate for the position<\/span>

Once we have a DLAC in place, we’ll begin to fill the other positions\u00a0<\/span>in the structure.<\/span>

The good news is that the DLAC is paid the same salary as the Division\u00a0<\/span>Director! The bad news is that the salary is zero (the same as all of\u00a0<\/span>the hard working Division and Section elected and appointed officials).<\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks & 73 de Doug, K4AC, and Mike, AA6ML<\/span>
