Section Manager Election Results AnnouncedOne new ARRL Section Manager has been elected, while eight incumbent SMs have retained their seats. New terms for all successful candidates begin April 1. Contested elections took place in two ARRL sections, and ballots were counted and verified February 20 by Membership and Volunteer Programs staff members at ARRL Headquarters. In Kentucky, Jim Brooks, KY4Z, of Cox's Creek outpolled former SM Bill Uschan, K4MIS, 426 to 105. Brooks will succeed John Meyers, NB4K, who has been Kentucky's SM since 2001. Meyers did not run for re-election. Brooks, a ham for 20 years, says he wants to build on Meyers' achievements. Brooks has served in various leadership positions in his local club. Since 2004, he has been the ARRL Kentucky Section Public Information Coordinator. He is trained in ARES, enjoys working DX, serves as an ARRL Volunteer Examiner and is a registered instructor. In North Texas, incumbent SM Tom Blackwell, N5GAR, received 816 votes to 761 for challenger Doug Loughmiller, W5BL, to win a second term. Seven other incumbent ARRL Section Managers faced no opposition in the current election cycle and were returned to office for new, two-year terms. They are: Tom Fagan, WB7NXH, Arizona; David Norris, K5UZ, Arkansas; Jim Lasley, N0JL, Iowa; Malcolm Keown, W5XX, Mississippi; Doug Dunn, K7YD, Montana; Carl Gardenias, WU6D, Orange, and Dwayne Allen, WY7FD, of Wyoming.
