Brent Walls, N9BA, has resigned as Central Division Director of ARRL The
National Association for Amateur Radio¿, citing professional and personal
commitments. He served as Director since 2025, and before that as Vice Director
beginning in 2021.
"Serving in the capacity of Division Director has been a truly rewarding
experience and the highlight of my amateur radio journey," said Walls in a
message to ARRL members in the Division. "Whether supporting emergency
communications, fostering technical growth, or strengthening our community
connections, the ARRL plays an important part, and I am proud to have been part
of it."
Consistent with ARRL's governing documents, Joshua Long, W9HT, of New Haven,
Indiana, who has served as Vice Director since 2025, has assumed the office of
Central Division Director, effective immediately. ARRL President Rick Roderick,
K5UR, will appoint a successor as Vice Director for the remaining term, which
expires in 2027.
The Central Division includes Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin. ARRL is governed
by an all-volunteer Board of Directors. Elections are held for five of the 15
ARRL Divisions each year, for terms of 3 years.
