New DEC for Region 2

As most of you know, we have been without a District Emergency Coordinator (DEC) in CT ARES Region 2 for quite some time.

Betsey K1EIC, our Section Manager, and I have been looking for the right candidate and talking to those who have indicated interest.

I am pleased to announce that Betsey and I have found a qualified and eager candidate.  We have both interviewed him and reviewed his credentials.  Based on my positive recommendation, Betsey has appointed him!

The new DEC for Region 2 is Douglas Sharafanowich WA1SFH from Milford.  Douglas is a General Class amateur who is actively working on his Extra Class ticket.  He has a broad range of experience in both ham radio and other volunteer organizations (e.g., Boy Scouts and American Red Cross).

Since Region 2 has been without a DEC for a long time, Douglas has taken on a significant challenge!  Betsey and I feel that, with the help and support of the current ARES membership in Region 2 as well as assistance from ARES leaders from the other Regions, he will be able to develop a strong and active cadre of ARES operators to serve Region 2.

Please give Douglas your full support and encouragement!
