News Update from the World Wide Radio Operators Foundation
The World Wide Radio Operators Foundation, Inc. (WWROF) would like to
share several important updates with the contest community.
First, the WWROF has added two new directors to the organizations
leadership. They are John Sluymer, VE3EJ, and Tine Brajnik, S50A. John and Tine
are both well-known in the international contest community for their
operating skill and leadership talents. They join current directors Doug Grant,
K1DG; John Dorr, K1AR; Bob Cox, K3EST; Tim Duffy, K3LR; Mark Beckwith, N5OT;
Ralph Gator Bowen, N5RZ; and Tom Lee, K8AZ.
Second, officer elections for 2011 were recently held. K1AR was elected
Chair, K3LR Vice-chair, N5RZ Treasurer, and K8AZ Secretary. K1DG declined to
run for a second term as Chair, due to his responsibilities as President of
WRTC2014, Inc.
Finally, the WWROF has received a determination letter from the U.S.
Internal Revenue Service granting 501(c)(3) status as a tax-exempt public
charity. This means that contributions to WWROF by U.S. taxpayers are deductible
to the extent allowed by law.
In the past year, WWROF has provided financial and behind-the-scenes
technical support for several programs of interest to active operators,
including several award programs and log-checking services for the IARU HF
Championship HQ station competition.
But, this is only the beginning. Next year, WWROF will be seeking to
implement several high-impact, high-return programs that will benefit the
contest community at large. Our goal is to be innovative and execute on ideas
that have been discussed for years but have never been implemented. However, we
ll need your financial support to get things done. The WWROF strongly
encourages interested parties to take advantage of our new charitable status
and consider an end-of-the-year 2010 tax-deductible contribution. And, of
course, your ideas and input are welcome as well.
As always, we thank everyone for your encouragement and financial support
to date. Thanks to you, WWROF is off to a great start and we look forward
to an exciting year of growth in 2011.
