RAC new Vice President for Field Services

The Radio Amateurs of Canada Board of Directors has appointed Sue Cooke, VE3SUH, as Vice President for Field Services.

She will act as VPFS for the remainder of a two-year term which ends December 31, 2009, or until a permanent replacement is identified and appointed, whichever comes first.

Former VPFS Bob Cooke, VE3BDB, resigned from that post to accept appointment as the RAC President. Both appointments were made at a Board meeting on February 24, 2009.

Sue brings to the VPFS position a wealth of experience in administration, having spent 30 years with the Ontario Government service. She has been a licenced Radio Amateur for nearly ten years and her operating  qualifications include Morse Code. Sue's previous service with RAC embraces three years as an Assistant Director in Ontario South Region, two years as an Official Bulletin Station and a two-year term as RAC's Corporate Secretary.

She is a RAC Certified Emergency Co-ordinator, having successfully completed the CEC exam.
