This past Friday (December 25th) Michael Scales K5SCA tendered his resignation as Section Emergency Coordinator (SEC). I am grateful for his many years of service to the New Mexico section.
Mike’s unexpected departure leaves a key opening within the New Mexico Section’s field organization staff that needs to be filled relatively soon.
This is a state-wide call for interest to the position of SEC.
The basic roles and responsibilities of the SEC are posted on ARRL’s website (http://www.arrl.org/section-emergency-coordinator). As with all key Section roles, an abundance of resources would be made available to help our new SEC be as successful and effective as possible. These resources include:
- Access to an internal ARRL email reflector that SECs from every ARRL section across the nation are subscribed to, enabling the exchange of ideas, best practices, lessons learned, etc.
- Contact with key staff at ARRL headquarters in Connecticut who can assist with administrative functions, policy explanations, etc.
- Close collaboration with and assistance from New Mexico’s devoted Section staff who play a variety of complementary roles across our state.
Anybody with questions or wishing to be considered for appointment to the position of New Mexico’s SEC should contact me at ka8jmw@arrl.org within the next week.
Ed James, KA8JMW
Section Manager, New Mexico
