   ARLB008 New Section Manager Appointed in Virgin Islands   
      
   Fred Kleber, K9VV, has been appointed as Section Manager of the   
   Virgin Islands Section beginning May 1, 2012. Kleber, of   
   Christainsted, is taking the reins from John Ellis, NP2B, who is   
   planning to move out of the Section soon. Ellis has been Section   
   Manager of the Virgin Islands since 1996. Kleber has served as the   
   Section Emergency Coordinator of the Virgin Islands this past year.   
      
   Ellis recommended that Kleber fulfill his current term of office   
   that continues until September 30, 2012. In response, Dave Patton,   
   NN1N, Membership and Volunteer Programs Manager, consulted with ARRL   
   Southeastern Division Director Greg Sarratt, W4OZK, and made the   
   appointment effective on May 1.   
      
   Nomination petitions are now being accepted at ARRL Headquarters for   
   any qualified ARRL member who would like to run for the next term of   
   office as the Virgin Islands Section Manger. See the notice in the
