There's no such position. The ARRL has Section Managers, Division
Directors and Vice Directors.

Directors and Vice Directors are elected by the membership. And it is
they who set ARRL policy. They're from all over the country, not just
Newington.

The Section Managers are also elected by the membership of the
Section. In fact, in the Oregon Section we elected one about a year
or so ago and we didn't like what he was doing so we held a recall
election and out he went.

The system works.

In the several years when I was active in Pacific Division politics,
I became aware that there are Division Directors who challenge what
some folks refer to as the "Codfish Curtain". (Right, Hans ??). When
enough of them prevail, policy changes.
