   ARLB005 Two ARRL Sections Getting New Section Managers, Virginia SM   
   Re-Elected   
      
   Karl Bowman, W4CHX, of Raleigh, is the new ARRL North Carolina   
   Section Manager, effective on February 20. Outgoing SM Bill Morine,   
   N2COP, of Wilmington, decided not to run for another term after   
   serving since 2010. Although his term did not end until April 1,   
   Morine asked to step down early, due to business and personal   
   commitments, and let Bowman step in early. Membership and Volunteer   
   Programs Manager Dave Patton, NN1N, reviewed Morine's recommendation   
   and consulted with Roanoke Division Director Dennis Bodson, W4PWF,   
   before making the appointment official.   
      
   In Louisiana, Jim Molan, KD5IGG, of Bunkie, will succeed Jim   
   Coleman, AI5B, as Section Manager on April 1. Coleman decided not to   
   run again after serving a 2 year term, and Molan was the only   
   candidate. Molan brings to the office his experience as Assistant   
   Section Manager, Assistant Section Emergency Coordinator, and   
   District Emergency Coordinator.   
      
   In the only contested Section Manager race of this election cycle,   
   Virginia Section Manager Carl Clements, W4CAC, was re-elected to a   
   new term. He received 789 votes and his opponent, Anthony Harbour,   
   KG4YXP, of Ridgeway, polled 568 votes. Ballots were counted on   
   February 18 at ARRL Headquarters.   
      
   Clements, who lives in Portsmouth, has been Section Manager   
   continuously since 2008, and he served previously as SM from 2001   
   until 2006. His new 2 year term begins on April 1.   
      
   The following incumbent ARRL Section Managers did not face   
   opposition and were declared elected for new terms of office   
   beginning on April 1: Pete Cecere, N2YJZ, Eastern New York; Robert   
   B. Famiglio, K3RF, Eastern Pennsylvania; Bob Schneider, AH6J,   
   Pacific; Steve Early, AD6VI, San Diego, and Chris Stallkamp, W0ADZ,   
   South Dakota.
