Section Manager of the ARRL Pacific Section Joe Speroni, AH0A, has
retired from the position. Speroni served in the role for 7 years.
He was active with ARRL in a variety of positions dating back to the
creation of the Volunteer Examiner program in 1984. He has also been
an instructor and Affiliated Club Coordinator (ACC). His
contributions to emergency communications and management in the
Hawaiian Islands have long been recognized by the amateur radio
community.

ARRL Field Services Manager Mike Walters, W8ZY, said, 'With 40 years
of service as a volunteer, he is one of the best examples of making
the world a better place through amateur radio.' Speroni is an ARRL
Life Member.

The Section Manager position is being filled by Alan Maenchen, AD6E,
for the remainder of the term. Maenchen is also an ARRL Life Member
and has served as an ACC, an Assistant Section Manager, a DXCC Card
Checker, and is also a W1AW Qualifying Run station for the West

emergency communications and a background of assisting amateur radio
clubs in the Section.
