11\/20\/2024<\/span><\/p>\nDear Member,\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the 2024 ARRL Annual Meeting held in January, the Board of Directors unanimously voted to approve the establishment of a committee to assure the existence of a set of ethical standards and guidelines for Board Members as called for in ARRL By-Law 42. In addition, the committee was tasked to review By-Laws 42 (Ethics and Elections Committee) and 46 (Conflict of Interest Policy) for possible revision.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I was selected by President Rick Roderick, K5UR, to chair the ARRL Special Committee on By-Law 46 Revisions. I am writing to share an update on our efforts. The committee scrutinized By-Laws 42 and 46 for revisions, and incorporated feedback from legal counsel. After diligent work, the committee has finalized its recommendations and, earlier today, presented its report and proposed By-Law revisions at a meeting of the Committee. All of the ARRL Board Members were invited to participate in that meeting.\u00a0<\/p>\n
All of our committee\u2019s work, including our report and documents pertaining to proposed By-Law revisions, is readily available for your review at\u00a0www.arrl.org\/by-laws-update. I encourage you to consider reviewing the documents to help develop your own perspective on these issues.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Why This Matters: As ARRL is a federally recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, it is imperative that our governance structure meets the legal and ethical requirements of a well-governed organization. We will reinforce trust and accountability with our members by establishing ethical standards and an independent adjudication process.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your Division Director.<\/p>\n
73,
Rod Stafford, W6ROD, Chair of the Special Committee on Bylaw 46<\/p>\n
ARRL International Affairs Vice President<\/p>\n
