Hello HamWAN PSDR group,

I'm the founder/president of HamWAN Memphis Metro, and an active member of the HamWAN standards group at large. While I don't share the same network and operations technical experience as some of the others, I do have some skills with marketing, team-building, and strategy.

I would like the opportunity to serve on the HamWAN board to represent the other regions that have deployed HamWAN. I'd like the chance to advocate for and work on:

Developing the working-group standards for HamWAN
Promoting the project to the international community
Creating partnerships with sponsoring agencies, specifically in the form of grants
Forming new HamWAN networks in regions with interested sponsoring hams and supporting populations/topographies

I am in Memphis, TN, so I will not be able to contribute to any of the physical plant operations in Seattle. I also have little interest in acting as a network operator for the PSDR group, as I already have my hands full with MemHamWAN and frequently ask for help from PSDR. I will provide some different skills to the group, and I would appreciate your vote in favor of me for director of HamWAN.

I vote yay in favor of myself :) HamWAN PSDR members, please reply with your votes!

Thanks,

Ryan Turner
