Bill Gipps, VE7ISV, new BC/YK Regional Director

Following the March 1, 2009, close of nominations for the
British Columbia/Yukon Region Director position, an Election
Committee was convened, chaired by RAC Corporate Secretary, Linda Friars, VE9GLF.

The committee met to open and review the sole nomination received for the position, as required by the By-laws.

There being no other nominees, and the nomination documents found to be in order, the committee declared Bill Gipps, VE7ISV, elected as the RAC Director for the BC/YK Region to complete the remainder of a two-year term that began January 1, 2009, effective immediately.

The RAC president, board and executive welcome Mr. Gipps and thank him for volunteering his services.

Past Director Ed Frazer, VE7EF, who did not stand for re-election, had agreed to stay on by special appointment of the Board in an acting role pending the election of a replacement.

RAC extends a heartfelt thank-you to Mr. Frazer for his years of service on the Board and for his dedication and commitment to Radio Amateurs of Canada.
