    ARRL Board meeting agenda one of the least informative agendas Ive ever
    seen.

    The ARRL 2021 Annual Board Meeting will be held Friday/Saturday January
    15-16, 2021. Today, I received the meeting agenda by email. (You can get
    the agendas, too, by logging into the ARRL website and going to https://www.arrl.org/Users/edit#!/edit-info-email_subscriptions.) I must
    say, though, that this is the least informative of any agendas that Ive
    ever received.

    Basically, all it says is the order in which the board is going to receive reports. In order, these are:

    Treasurers report
    CFO report
    Officers reports

    President
    First Vice President
    Second Vice President
    International Affairs Vice President
    Chief Executive Officer
    FCC Communication Counsel
    Connecticut Counsel


    Committee reports

    Executive Committee
    Administration & Finance Committee
    Programs & Services Committee
    Ethics & Elections Committee
    Amateur Radio Legal Defense & Assistance Committee
    RF Safety Committee
    EMC Committee
    Public Relations Committee
    Historical Committee
    ARISS Committee
    LoTW Committee
    ARDF, Co-Coordinators
    Contest Advisory Committee
    DX Advisory Committee
    Legislative Advocacy Committee
    HF Band Planning Committee
    Legal Structure Review Committee
    Emergency Management Director Selection Committee




    The problem, of course, is that you cant see these reports to comment on
    them because they havent been published yet. (You can see past committee reports at http://www.arrl.org/committee-reports.) Presumably, the
    committee reports that will be presented at this board meeting will show up there in the next month or so.

    Having said all that, now is the time to bend your directors ear if youd
    like to get some action from the ARRL on any matter that youre interested
    in. You can find your director by going to http://www.arrl.org/divisions.

    Unless Im missing something—and this is a distinct possibility—there havent been many contentious issues lately. Perhaps that has to do with not having
    a CEO for the past year. Now that we do have a new CEO, presumably things
    will progress to the point where hams can start complaining about them. <Im just kidding..sort of, anyway.>
