   Field Organization official in West Texas since July 2007; he

   2011. Roberts will serve as Interim West Texas Section Manager until   
   a Section Manager is declared elected.   
      
   Section Manager Nomination Petition Resolicitation   
      
   Since no nominations were received for the West Texas Section   
   Manager election by the nomination deadline of March 4, 2011,   
   nominations are hereby resolicited. Nomination petitions need to be   
   received at ARRL Headquarters by 4 PM EDT on September 9, 2011. If   
   more than one member is nominated in the section, ballots will be   
   mailed from Headquarters on or before October 3, 2011, to full   
   members of record as of September 9, 2011, the closing date for   
   nominations. Returns will be counted on November 22, 2011. A Section   
   Manager elected as result of the above procedure will take office on   
   January 1, 2012.   
      
   If only one valid petition is received from a Section, that nominee   
   shall be declared elected without opposition.  A Section Manager   
   elected through the resolicitation will serve a term of 18 months   
   (instead of two years). For more information, see page 67 of the   
   August 2011 issue of QST.
