   SB QST ARL ARLB018   
   ARLB018 Utah Section Manager Re-Elected, Two New SMs Coming Aboard   
   in July   
      
   One incumbent Section Manger overcame a challenge to win his bid for   
   a new term of office, while two SM candidates who ran unopposed will   
   assume office this summer. All new 2-year terms of office begin on   
   July 1.   
      
   Ballots in the two-person race in the ARRL Utah Section were counted   
   on May 19 at ARRL Headquarters. Incumbent Section Manager Mel   
   Parkes, NM7P, received 342 votes, while Pat Malan, N7PAT, of South   
   Jordan, garnered 280 votes. Parkes, of Layton, has served as the   
   Utah Section Manager since 1999.   
      
   The Maryland/DC Section will have a new Section Manager starting in   
   July. Marty Pittinger, KB3MXM, of Owings Mills, was the only nominee   
   for the post, now held by Jim Cross, WI3N, who decided not to run   
   for another term. Cross has been the Maryland/DC Section Manager   
   since January 2006. Pittinger is currently the Affiliated Club   
   Coordinator in Maryland/DC. He also serves as a Public Information   
   Officer, Official Relay Station, and Net Manager.   
      
   A new Section Manager also will be taking the reins in the West   
   Texas Section. Ron Harden Jr, KB5HGM, of Baird, was the sole   
   candidate for the position. He has been serving as Affiliated Club   
   Coordinator and as an Emergency Coordinator in West Texas. Incumbent   
   Bill Roberts, W5NPR, decided not to run for another term. He has   
   been Section Manager since 2011.   
      
   Five sitting Section Managers faced no opposition in the spring   
   election cycle and will begin new 2-year terms on July 1. They are   
   Peter Stohrer, K1PJS (New Hampshire); Richard Krohn, N2SMV (Northern   
   New Jersey); John Bigley, N7UR (Nevada); Bob Beaudet, W1YRC (Rhode   
   Island); Dan Pruitt, AE6SX (San Joaquin Valley).
