Huntington Beach RACES 2009 Management Team

The 2009 Huntington Beach RACES Management Team held their first meeting of 2009 on January 5, 2009.  HB RACES goals for 2009 include:  a strong effort on completing training materials and providing training opportunities for both new and seasoned communicators, documentation of standard HB RACES procedures and methods that have been established over the years and are working well for our group, continuing an ATV awareness effort within the city departments and our RACES groups including the periodic testing and verification of our ATV equipment and procedures, and facilitating each officer to manage and accomplish their specific goals for the organization.

The 2009 HB RACES Management Team includes:

• Chief Radio Officer – Peter, N6RAS
• Assistant Radio Officer – Vaughn, KE6V
• Events Officer – Steve, KE6OCE
• Training Officer – Jim, KG6ZDP

In addition our past Training Officer from the 80s, Gordon, K6DAA, will be joining the officer team for special assignments and offering his assistance to all officers as needed. Gordon’s extra help and perspective will be helpful in the accomplishment of our ambitious goals.

Dates for 2009’s management meetings have been set and are on the first Monday of the month with the exception of September. In order to observe the Labor Day holiday we will be meeting twice in August - the first Monday and the last Monday. All officers are asked to attend these meetings and all interested communicators are also invited to attend. The meetings are normally held in the Huntington Beach EOC. If you have an issue that needs to be addressed by the HB RACES Management Team please contact the officer that best matches the area of concern or contact the Chief Radio Officer.

All of the 2009 officer’s are looking forward to making 2009 another great year of service to our city and continued learning of our radio skills with our vast radio family of friends. Together we will continue to make HB RACES the flagship organization it has become.
