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!
