PIO Handbook - Introduction

I'm proud to introduce ARRL's new Public Information Officer's Handbook. Promoting Amateur Radio and creating positive public awareness is important to me personally, and absolutely necessary to help bolster our ongoing efforts in Washington and elsewhere.

Not an ARRL PIO? That's OK. This handbook is for anyone with the drive and determination to promote Amateur Radio to the fullest.

I hope you'll take a look at the information provided and see how you can use it to make a difference in your community.

And remember, you're not alone. Members of ARRL's PR Committee, Allen Pitts, W1AGP at ARRL HQ and ARRL leadership officials in your area are ready and willing to support your efforts.

Good luck, and let us know how you're doing!

73,

Jim Haynie, W5JBP
President
