About
the Section
Our ARRL Field
Organization is divided into 71 administrative sections. While
our Minnesota Section covers our entire state, many larger or more populous
states have more than one section. Some of the sections
cover areas in the oceans and include Hawaii and some island
territories. Skip Jackson, KSØJ, is your
Section Manager and has held this position since October 1,
2004.
Together with the North and South Dakota Sections, we make up
the Dakota Division, another subdivision of the ARRL Field
Organization. There are 15 such Divisions in the ARRL field
organization. Jay Bellows - KØQB, is our Division Director and
sits on the ARRL Board of Directors as do all of the other
Division Directors. Jay has a staff including a
vice-director, Greg Widin - KØGW, and several assistant Directors.
His staff is listed on a separate page. Click

the Jay's page.
The 15 Division Directors on the ARRL
Board of Directors deal with
the strategic and policy issues of the ARRL while the Section
Managers carry out the tactical or hands-on work of the ARRL
field organization.
There are many volunteers that are
working to make the Minnesota Section a vital and working part
of the ARRL field organization. Many of them will be
mentioned here and on the ARES website.
There are many opportunities for new
volunteers. Call the section manager or one of the cabinet
members to volunteer. Your help is invaluable and
appreciated. |
