Five incumbents have been declared elected without opposition, while

2011.

Pacific Division

As the only nominee for Director in the Pacific Division, Bob

re-elected.  Vallio has been Pacific Division Director since
February 2003 when, as Vice Director, he assumed the position upon
the death of Jim Maxwell, W6CF.

Vice Director Jim Tiemstra, K6JAT, of Oakland, California, was also
running unopposed and has been declared elected.  Tiemstra was
appointed Vice Director in June 2009 to fill a vacancy created by a
resignation.

Rocky Mountain Division

Current Rocky Mountain Director Division Brian Mileshosky, N5ZGT, of
Albuquerque, New Mexico, was unopposed for the position.  This will

Rocky Mountain Division Vice Director for one full term, from
2005-2007.

Vice Director Dwayne Allen, WY7FD, of Devils Tower, Wyoming, was
also re-elected.  This will also be Allen's second term.

Huntsville, Alabama, faces two challengers for his position:  Sherri

ARRL.

Two candidates are running for Vice Director in the Southeastern
Division:  Incumbent Jeff Beals, WA4AW, of Loxahatchee, Florida, and
