What ARDC Has Been Up To
ARDC Welcomes Bob Witte (K0NR) to the ARDC Board of Directors!
The ARDC team is pleased to announce that on January 5, 2024, Bob Witte, K0NR, joined our Board of Directors. Licensed since 1977, Witte developed an interest in amateur radio while pursuing his undergraduate studies. He is a member of several amateur radio organizations, including ARRL, AMSAT, and QRP Amateur Radio Club International. He is actively involved in Parks on the Air (POTA), and he recently authored a chapter of The Parks on the AirⓇ Book. He is also involved in Summits on the Air (SOTA), founding the SOTA-related Colorado 14er Event. “I have worked with Bob Witte on the Grants Advisory Committee for 3 years,” says ARDC Outreach Manager John Hays, K7VE. “He took over chairing the committee from me the last two years and brought significant improvements to the process. He is very knowledgeable and organized and will be a great asset to ARDC serving on the Board.” …more New Committee Members for 2024Welcome to a whole new year - and new volunteer teams for our four Advisory Committees! They are:
These volunteers do significant work for the foundation. Our volunteers on the GAC, TAC, and CRC serve for at least one term, which runs from January to December, and committee members can serve up to three consecutive terms. As the GET is new and experimental, volunteers will be serving from January to June, with the possibility of a longer term if further evaluation work is needed. As the 2023 term recently ended, we will be saying goodbye to some of our volunteers and welcoming in our new ones. Please join us in thanking our departing team members and welcoming the new folks to the ARDC team! …more Come See Us at HamCation and HamSCI!
