Congratulations to our newest Executive Board Members for the Joplin Amateur Radio Club (W0IN). From L to R is Keith, KG5ILR – President / Jarren, N0TUP – Vice President / John, AE0ZY – Secretary / and Chris, N0YH – Treasurer.
At the annual Christmas Party held at Golden Corral on December 10th, the incoming board was introduced and recognized. Also recognized was the massive accomplishments and progress achieved by the previous board under the leadership of Rex, WA0UPB.
Under his leadership, JARC was able to establish a tower at Camp Childress Boy Scout Camp, and finish the final steps needed in getting the old Carthage tower back up and running. No small feat considering the logistics nightmare that turned into. The previous board approved the replacement of the old website with a more modern look that you are using now. The VE team upgraded from an all-paper team to both a paper and a digital testing team in time for Hamfest 2024. Plus, the flawless execution of Hamfest 2024, which is always an enjoyable event. The former board also embraced the concept of HamClubOnline.com, a membership management software that will vastly improve membership services in the future. Last, but certainly not least, was the enjoyable transfer of leadership at the annual JARC Christmas Party. Rex, Jim, Carolyn, and John, thank you for your selfless devotion, time, and effort given to ensuring the future growth and continuation of the Joplin Amateur Radio Club (W0IN).
