   ARLB003 Leadership Changes in ARRL Atlantic Division   
      
   The ARRL Atlantic Division has new leadership. Tom Abernethy, W3TOM,   
   who had served as an ARRL Director, representing the Atlantic   
   Division since 2015, stepped down on January 6, 2023.   
      
   Vice Director Robert "Bob" Famiglio, K3RF, of Media, Pennsylvania,   
   is the new Division Director. ARRL Section Manager for Maryland/DC   
   Marty Pittinger, KB3MXM, of Owings Mills, Maryland, has been   
   appointed Vice Director by ARRL President Rick Roderick, K5UR.   
      
   Famiglio was initially Atlantic Division Vice Director from 2015   
   until 2017, appointed in 2019 to fill a vacancy, and then elected   
   unopposed for a term beginning in 2021. A practicing lawyer, he has   
   served as an ARRL Volunteer Council for decades. Famiglio is also an   
   electrical engineer and former broadcast station owner and engineer.   
   He is an FAA-certificated pilot. He is a Life Member of the   
   Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). He earned   
   his amateur radio license in 1967, and is an ARRL Life Member.   
      
   In an email to the Atlantic Division members in early January,   
   Abernethy said he still plans to be involved, stating, "After having   
   served for over 20 years in ARRL elected offices, it is my intention   
   to remain very active in support of ARRL, and I wish everyone all   
   the best as we head into the future of amateur radio and ARRL."   
      
   Pittinger was the Section Manager for Maryland/DC, one of seven ARRL   
   Sections that make up the Atlantic Division. He has an extensive   
   background in radio, served in the US Navy on submarines, and works   
   for a federal agency in his professional life.   
      
   Assistant Section Manager and Affiliated Club Coordinator for   
   Maryland/DC, Christopher D. Van Winkle, AB3WG, has been appointed   
   Section Manager by ARRL Field Services Manager Mike Walters, W8ZY.   
      
   Famiglio and Pittinger will each serve the remainder of 3 year terms   
   ending December 31, 2023.
