1. Transforming Radio Amateurs of Canada
At the RAC Annual General Meeting in Halifax on 6 August, President
Geoff Bawden, VE4BAW, officially launched RAC's transformation
process. The intent of which is to provide context and set the stage
-- specifically, the why, how and what of RAC's transformation.
We hope that all Canadian amateur radio operators, members and future
members, read the documents at tinyurl.com/rac-transformation and
reflect on the information they contain. Then we ask for your
comments, suggestions and recommendations on how to transform Radio
Amateurs of Canada.
-- Peter West, VE3HG, RAC VP of Public Relations
