   ARLB002 Oregon SM Bonnie Altus, AB7ZQ, Named ARRL Northwestern   
   Division Vice Director   
      
   ARRL President Kay Craigie, N3KN, has tapped Oregon Section Manager   
   Bonnie Altus, AB7ZQ, of Sheridan, as the League's Northwestern   
   Division Vice Director, succeeding Jim Pace, K7CEX. Pace acceded to   
   ARRL Northwestern Division Director after former director Jim   
   Fenstermaker, K9JF, was elected ARRL Second Vice President earlier   
   this month at the ARRL Board of Directors annual meeting.   
      
   Licensed since 1997, Altus became interested in ham radio while   
   working in information systems and telecommunications for a   
   hospital. She thought ham radio would be beneficial in disaster   
   communications, and she used what she learned as a new licensee to   
   write an emergency communications plan for the hospital. She has   
   served as president of the McMinnville Amateur Radio Club and as an   
   ARES assistant emergency coordinator and emergency coordinator. An   
   Amateur Extra Class licensee, she is especially interested in   
   digital modes. Her husband Mark is AC7ZQ. She served more than 7   
   years as Oregon Section Manager, from July 2006 until January 2014.   
      
   ARRL Membership and Volunteer Programs Department Manager Dave   
   Patton, NN1N, announced the appointment of Everett "Ev" Curry,   
   W6ABM, of Hillsboro, Oregon, to fill the remainder of Altus's term   
   as Oregon Section Manager. Patton consulted with Pace in filling the   
   SM vacancy. Curry will serve until the current term expires on June   
   30, 2014. Nominations for the next term of office (starting July 1)   
   for the Oregon SM are now being solicited.   
      
   Curry has been an Assistant Section Manager in Oregon since 2007, an   
   Official Observer since 2003, and the Official Observer Coordinator   
   since 2008. In addition he served as Public Information Coordinator   
   for Oregon from 2002 to 2007. An ARRL Life Member, he is editor of   
   The Oscillator, the monthly journal of the Tualatin Valley Amateur   
   Radio Club.
