ATTN: Notice to All Amateur Radio Operators in Ontario

Greetings All,

As many of you know RAC is presently undergoing new changes
within the organization and Field Services for Ontario is no
exception. As Section Manager for Ontario and your only elected
official for field services one of the major concerns that I brought
forward to the RAC executive is that for one person to act on behalf
of all of Ontario is not a proper voice on two levels. One is that due
to many factors like the sheer size of the province it is impossible
for all the amateurs in Ontario to see and have a personal contact
with the Section Manager. You need someone close to where you reside
that you can have personal contact with.

Since taking this position in October 2005 and being reelected
I have tried to do this job to the best of my ability. As many of you
know I have had some contact with you through personal telephone calls
and e-mails and maybe the odd club meeting or hamfest. However I don't
have the luxury or funds to visit all clubs or ARES groups in the
province. This is not fair to you and to me. You need personal contact
with someone that can take your concerns and comments good or bad to
the next level. If RAC is going to be our national voice you need to
know who your RAC rep is. Our present government has local MPP's that
represent your voice to government RAC needs a similar restructure.

RAC President Geoff Bawden VE4BAW through the direction of VPFS
Doug Mercer V01DTM has tasked Bill Unger VE3XT Ontario North Director
to over see a committee of experienced amateurs to come up with a
restructure of Field Services for Ontario. Attached you will find a
document and a new restructure chart with the proposal of having four
Section Managers representing you instead of one.

I ask you all to read the attached document carefully and send
your comments directly to the following address:
https://webmail.confederationc.on.ca/owa/redir.aspx?C=b75de1edba1140ef8a992c7197d2d841&URL= mailto%3Arestructont%40gmail.comrestructont@gmail .com.

As your elected official for RAC I need and want your input about
this proposed restructure before we can move ahead and your voice is
very important to me and RAC. I ask your respond back to this address
https://webmail.confederationc.on.ca/owa/redir.aspx?C=b75de1edba1140ef8a992c7197d2d841&URL= mailto%3Arestructont%40gmail.comrestructont@gmail .com.
by the 27th November 2011. Once all comments are collected a final
report will be drafted.

Again I thank each and everyone of you for your past and
continued support as your Section Manager. I can assure you RAC is
trying hard to get your opinions and ideas on how the organization can
continue to move forward to become our national voice representing all
amateur radio operators concerns.

Have a look and this is your chance to let your voice be heard.

73
