Flash! Passed on from a member of the Lake Washington Ham Club:

“TAPR recently received a generous donation from the Amateur Radio Digital Communications organization that is targeted to fund student attendance at the ARRL/TAPR Digital Communication Conference (DCC) (https://tapr.org/dcc), September 20-22 near Detroit.

“The grant allows us to provide financial support (travel, lodging, conference attendance, meals) for a few students, whether or not presently licensed, who would benefit from attendance and who would help represent a broader demographic than the current ham radio community (e.g., young people, people of color, women, etc.). 

“If you would like to submit the name of a deserving student along with brief information about why you feel he/she would be a good selection, we would be happy to consider him/her. We would like to receive nominations by September 1 if possible, though we will be as flexible as possible in the timing. Please send nominations to taproffice at tapr.org.“

Minutes for the June 8 Board Meeting have been posted on the Meeting Minutes page.
