The 2011 AGM was hosted by the Society of Newfoundland Radio Amateurs [SONRA].
Atlantic Director Everett Price, VO1DK, took advantage of the recent AGM in St. John's Newfoundland to announce the appointment of Len Morgan, VE9MY, to the newly created position of Deputy Director for the Atlantic Region.
Len is well known to the Region having served as Atlantic Director for two terms ending in December 2010. This appointment will allow for greater representation for Atlantic members. Everett, VO1DK is a resident of Newfoundland and Labrador while Len 's home is in New Brunswick.
