Ernie Hocking resigns as WIA director
but accepts new position

WIA Director and Vice President, Ernie Hocking VK1LK has advised the WIA board of his resignation as a director of the WIA and therefore as Vice President.

Ernie has told the board that his ongoing heavy work commitment means that he is unable to contribute as actively to the WIA as he would like, and that given the importance of establishing a full functional national body, he would prefer to stand aside to allow someone else to replace him.

Ernie was elected Federal President in 2001, and held that position until the adoption of the new Constitution on 16 May 2004, when the national WIA was created, and Ernie became Vice President.

The WIA board invited Ernie to accept the position of Special Advisor to the Board, and as such attend board meetings and continue to participate in the board emails. That way, he would be able to assist the board with his
special knowledge and ensure continuity as issues arose.
