The report from the nominating committee, N5AR and K7AWB, was that all officers, except for WA7LT, were willing to remain in office for another term. They further reported that W6AEA accepted the challenge as candidate for the vacated office of Secretary. No nominations were presented from the floor. Thus, by acclamation, the officers for 2003 are:
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2\tK7OX, Gary Elliott, President
\n\u00e2\u20ac\u00a2\tK7TQ, Randy Foltz, Vice President
