   ARLB003 Section Managers Winter Election Results   
      
   Two ARRL Sections -- Eastern Pennsylvania and Louisiana -- will get   
   new Section Managers, as of April 1, 2012. Two other Sections -- San   
   Diego and Virginia -- will keep their incumbent Section Managers.   
   Ballots for these races were counted Tuesday, February 21 at ARRL   
   Headquarters.   
      
   Eastern Pennsylvania   
      
   After serving more than 11 years as Eastern Pennsylvania Section   
   Manager, Eric Olena, WB3FPL, of Mohnton, decided not to run for   
   another term. Three hams threw their hats into the ring, vying to   
   become the new Section Manager: Robert B. Famiglio, K3RF, of Media;   
   Phil Theis, K3TUF, of Ephrata, and Andrew Shecktor, N3OMA, of   
   Berwick. With 590 votes, Famiglio was declared the victor. Theis   
   received 574 votes and Shecktor received 154 votes.   
      
   Famiglio -- an ARRL Life Member -- has been an active radio amateur   
   for 44 years. He has served as ARES First District Emergency   
   Coordinator for the last six years and as an ARRL Atlantic Division   
   Volunteer Counsel for more than 25 years.   
      
   Louisiana   
      
   Louisiana will have a new Section Manager starting on April 1. Jim   
   Coleman, AI5B, of Bogalusa, will be taking the reins from Gary   
   Stratton, K5GLS, of Shreveport. Stratton, who decided not to run for   
   another term, has served as Louisiana Section Manager since April   
   2008. Coleman is presently the Section Emergency Coordinator, and   
   has served in that role since 2008.   
      
   San Diego   
      
   San Diego Section Manager Steve Early, AD6VI, of La Mesa, will   
   continue as Section Manager in the ARRL's San Diego Section. Early   
   received 363 votes; challenger Patrick Bunsold, WA6MHZ, of El Cajon,   
   received 234 votes. Early has served as Section Manager since 2008.   
      
   Virginia   
      
   In Virginia, Carl Clements, W4CAC, of Portsmouth, was re-elected   
   Section Manager in Virginia with 754 votes. His opponent, Joseph   
   Imburgia, Jr, KI4LXT, of Yorktown, received 380 votes. Clements has   
   served as Virginia Section Manager since April 2008. He also   
   previously was the Section Manager from May 2001-March 2006.   
      
   The following incumbent ARRL Section Managers did not face   
   opposition and were declared elected for their next terms of office   
   beginning April 1, 2012: Pete Cecere, N2YJZ (Eastern New York); Bill   
   Morine, N2COP (North Carolina), and Bob Schneider, AH6J (Pacific).

   Manager election by the nomination deadline of December 9, 2011,   
   nominations are hereby re-solicited. Look for details in the   
   "Section Manager Nomination Notice" in the Happenings column of
