Election of new RAC officials

On 26 February 2008, the Board of Directors of Radio Amateurs of Canada conducted a teleconference meeting to elect two new members to the RAC Executive:

- Jim Hay VE2VE of Pointe Claire QC was elected Vice-President, Technical and Administrative Services. This election confirms Jim's recent assumption of responsibilities for RAC's information technology requirements.

Jim's efforts have already provided users of RAC's website with impressive improvements in the speed and quality of service. He has recently tackled some of the problems with SPAM that affected many users of RAC's e-mail alias service. RAC and Canadian Radio Amateurs are very lucky to have someone with Jim's experience and skills contributing to our national organisation.

- John Bartlett VE1OZ of Hammonds Plains NS was elected Vice-President Public Relations and will lead RAC's efforts to develop strategies to improve RAC's membership across Canada and to promote Amateur Radio to the Canadian public.

John comes to RAC with enormous experience and knowledge of Amateur Radio and an excellent professional background in the telecommunications industry both in Canada and abroad.

The Board of Directors and Executive of RAC warmly welcome Jim and John to RAC's leadership team.
