The ARRL has released the minutes of the Executive Committee meeting held on 3rd May 2021

The meeting discussed the need to publish more stories about the many positive aspects of amateur radio and its participants to balance the negative stories that seem to garner more attention but which convey to outsiders an overall false impression of our service and its benefits.

The committee discussed possible ways to address that issue, such as initiating news items highlighting STEM activities, school projects, youth education, amateur space and Space Shuttle programs, and emergency activities and drills to better balance the occasional stories about enforcement activities and such.
