SB QST ARL ARLB016
ARLB016 New Section Manager Appointed in North Dakota in Wake of
Resignation

Richard Budd, W0TF, has been appointed as North Dakota ARRL Section
Manager, succeeding Nancy Yoshida, K0YL, who resigned on June 2
after serving since January 2018. Yoshida will become the vice
president of the YL International Single Sideband System this year
and felt she could not do justice to both leadership roles.

Budd, who lives in York, will complete the remainder of Yoshida's
term, which extends through September 30. Because Budd was also the
only nominee to submit a petition to run for the next term of office
as the North Dakota Section Manager by the June 5 deadline, he will
continue as Section Manager for the 2-year term that starts on
October 1, 2020.

A ham since 1980, Budd had served as a North Dakota Assistant
Section Manager since 2019, was Section Emergency Coordinator in
2018, and previously served as North Dakota's Official Observer
Coordinator.

ARRL Radiosport and Field Services Manager Bart Jahnke, W9JJ, made
the appointment after consulting with ARRL Dakota Division Director
Matt Holden, K0BBC.
