ARLB017 Illinois Section Manager Steps Down, New SM Appointed

Illinois Section Manager Ron Morgan, AD9I, has stepped down due to
health concerns that became apparent just as he was ready to start a
new term. He was re-elected in the spring Section Manager election
cycle. Morgan, of East Peoria, has been Section Manager since
February 2017. Thomas Beebe, W9RY, of Marion, has been appointed as
the Illinois Section Manager, effective July 1, to fulfill the
2-year term that extends through June 30, 2022.

ARRL Radiosport and Field Services Manager Bart Jahnke, W9JJ, made
the appointment after consulting with ARRL Central Division Director
Kermit Carlson, W9XA.

Beebe was one of three candidates who ran for the post in the spring
SM election. He currently serves as an Assistant Section Manager,
Official Emergency Station, and a Field Instructor and Field
Examiner.
