Joe Spier, K6WAO, Resigns as AMSAT President
Joe
Spier, K6WAO, has tendered his resignation as AMSAT President,
citing
personal reasons. Spier had served as AMSAT's President since
October 2017.
Prior to his tenure as President, Spier served as
AMSAT's Executive Vice
President and Vice President - Educational
Relations. He also served as an
AMSAT News Service Editor and as a
member of the ARISS Education
Team.
Under the AMSAT bylaws, Executive Vice President Paul Stoetzer,
N8HM,
assumes the office of President until the next meeting of the Board
of
Directors.
Stoetzer said "I want to thank Joe for his many years of
service to
AMSAT in a variety of roles. I especially want to recognize
his
efforts to mark AMSAT's 50th Anniversary with special events at
the
Dayton Hamvention and AMSAT Symposium. His leadership in
bringing
together a variety of figures from the history of amateur radio
in
space in Arlington, VA this past fall helped to make the Symposium
a
very special event."
