Hello members of the Martin County Amateur Radio Association,

By now, I am sure that you know that Dave Morris K4AW (President) and Stephen Sprayberry (Spray) W4SPR (Treasurer) have decided to give someone else an opportunity to serve on the MCARA Board effective February 2023.  Thank you Dave and Spray for your continued hard work, skills, friendship, and dedication towards our highly respected and “almost 50 year old” amateur radio organization.

At the Annual meeting held on February 23, 2023, we were able to fill the elected position of Treasurer, with Doug Shields W4DAS stepping up to the plate, along with the other positions per MCARA’s By-Laws.

To assist the next President, POSSIBLY YOU, and to balance the workload amongst the members, various committees such as Nomination, Program and Repeater will be established again.  Special events such as Field Day and Hamfest etc. will have leaders as well.

However, the Nomination Committee is still looking for someone who would be interested in being nominated to run as President of MCARA for the next 11 months. This is a great opportunity for YOU!  As President, your involvement will be a rewarding experience.

IMPORTANT: Please contact ASAP any member of the Nomination Committee below if you are even a little bit interested in the President’s role. We hope to have the nominations in order before the March 23, 2023 meeting so we can move forward.

REMEMBER THAT WE ALL HAVE THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME AND IT’S UP TO YOU HOW YOU SPEND IT. AMATEUR RADIO IS FUN!

Respectfully submitted from your 2023 Nomination Committee,
