2023 ARRL Board of Directors Election Results

The ARRL announces the results of the 2023 ARRL Division elections.

ARRL Great Lakes Division Vice Director Scott Yonally, N8SY (2,175
votes), of Lexington, Ohio, defeated candidate Michael Kalter, W8CI
(2,023 votes), for the position of Division Director. Yonally will
assume the role when Director Dale Williams, WA8EFK, who has held
the seat since 2014, completes his current term at the end of the
year.

In the Atlantic Division, Vice Director Martin Pittinger, KB3MXM
(2,801 votes), of Owings Mills, Maryland, defeated candidate Robert
Weinstock, W3RQ (1,044 votes) for the seat.

In the Dakota Division, Vice Director Lynn Nelson, W0ND (656 votes),
of Minot, North Dakota, defeated candidate Matthew Holden, K0BBC
(519 votes).

Winners will assume their roles for terms beginning January 1, 2024.

Members had the option to vote using paper or electronic ballots.
The election was conducted by third party Election Services Co., of
Melville, New York — the same company that conducted ARRL elections
in 2022. The tabulation was observed by Director of the ARRL Pacific
Division Kristen McIntyre, K6WX, who chairs the ARRL Ethics and
Elections Committee.

Those were the only contested races in this year’s election cycle
for Director and Vice Director. In August, the following incumbents,
running unopposed in this election cycle, were declared winners:
Atlantic Division Director Robert Famiglio, K3RF; Dakota Division
Director Bill Lippert, AC0W; Delta Division Director David Norris,
K5UZ, and Vice Director Ed Hudgens, WB4RHQ.

In the Great Lakes Division, Roy Hook, W8REH, will be the next Vice
Director. Hook ran unopposed for the seat vacated by Director-elect
Yonally.

ARRL is governed by an all-volunteer Board of Directors. Elections
are held for five of the 15 ARRL Divisions each year, for terms of 3
years.
