AMSAT-NA söker en ny ordförande:
AMSAT President Rick Hambly, W2GPS notified the AMSAT Board of
Directors on Thursday, September 11 that he is not a candidate for
President of AMSAT for the upcoming year. "After careful consideration, I have
decided that I am not able to continue as AMSAT President beyond the next Board
meeting and so I will not offer my name for consideration, and if nominated by
others I will not accept the nomination for
President. While I will be focusing
most of my efforts on business activities, I will do my best to make the
transition seamless", stated Rick in an e-mail to the current members of the
AMSAT Board of Directors. Rick has served as President of AMSAT since October
2004.
The current Board of Directors election concludes on Monday, September
15, when results of the balloting will be announced. Members of the
new Board will then begin a formal search process to recruit and
select a new President. This process is expected to take several
weeks with the goal of having a new President identified prior to the
AMSAT Board of Directors meeting on October 23, prior to the AMSAT
Symposium in Atlanta. The search process starts immediately with an
invitation to current AMSAT members (including BOD members, Senior
Advisors, Officers, and the AMSAT general membership) to suggest
current AMSAT members that they would recommend for consideration.
Recommendations are requested by 1900 EDT Tuesday evening, September
16 to the AMSAT Corporate Secretary (Barry Baines, WD4ASW; e-mail:
wd4asw at amsat.org). Names that are submitted will be initially reviewed by the
BOD and those candidates that the Board would like to follow up with will be
contacted concerning the interview/selection process.
Rick Hambly, W2GPS will continue to fulfill his duties as President
until the Board meeting in October. His current term on the Board of
Directors expires in September 2009.
