ARLB022 Summer Section Manager Election Results

The Southern Florida Section and the Oklahoma Section will have new
Section Mangers starting in October, and the incumbent Section
Manager of Ohio was re-elected in the Summer Section Manager
election cycle that concluded on Tuesday, August 24; election
ballots were counted August 24 at ARRL Headquarters. Terms for new
Section Managers will begin on October 1, 2010.

Current ARRL Southern Florida Section Manager Sherri Brower, W4STB,
decided not to run for re-election, so two new candidates entered
the race for that position: David Fowler, K4DLF, of West Palm Beach,
and Mark Timblin, W3LZK, of Vero Beach. Fowler was declared the
victor with 730 votes; Timblin received 153 votes. Fowler has been
serving as an Assistant Section Manger in Southern Florida, along
with his Emergency Coordinator, District Emergency Coordinator and
Public Information Officer appointments.

Incumbent Ohio Section Manager Frank Piper, KI8GW, of Pickerington,
was re-elected to a new full two-year term of office with 978 votes.
His opponent, Thomas Sly, WB8LCD, of Kent, garnered 887 votes. Piper
was appointed by ARRL in July 2009, to fulfill the term of office
left vacant after then-Section Manager Joe Phillips, K8QOE, passed
away.

In Oklahoma, Kevin O'Dell, N0IRW, of Ardmore, will take over the
Section Manager reins from Dean Feken, KL7MA, of Perry, on October
1. Feken decided not to run for another term of office, and O'Dell
was the only nominee to run for the position. O'Dell has been
serving the ARRL Field Organization in Oklahoma as the Public
Information Coordinator, a Public Information Officer and as an
Official Emergency Station.

The following incumbent ARRL Section Managers did not face
opposition and were declared elected for their next terms of office
beginning October 1: Betsey Doane, K1EIC, Connecticut; Ed Stuckey,
AI7H, Idaho; Skip Jackson, KS0J, Minnesota; Lynn Nelson, N0ND, North
Dakota; Roberto Jimenez, KP4AC, Puerto Rico; John Ellis, NP2B,
Virgin Islands, and Scott Bauer, W2LC, Western New York.
