All officers are elected to one-year terms by the general membership. Directors are elected to three-year terms, with one new Director elected every year. (See the expiration years for each Director above.) Officers and Directors must be Full Members of HOTARC. All are elected by a simple majority vote of the members present at the Annual Meeting—the last meeting of the year. See our bylaws (links below) for more details. HOTARC's Full Members hold a current amateur radio license from the FCC, have full voting rights in Club business, and can hold elected or appointed positions (Officer, Director, or Chair positions) in the Club. Associate Members, Family Members, and Lifetime Members are not permitted to vote or hold office, and need not hold a current amateur radio license.
