The ARRL Atlantic Division leadership has learned of a need by division members for learning about various topics of interest to amateur radio operators and amateur radio clubs.  Recognizing that amateur radios clubs are constantly looking for interesting meeting topics, looking for ways to spark more interest in their meetings, the division leadership felt that the first priorities should be topics that might be presented members of amateur radio clubs or amateur radio organizations such as local ARES or RACES groups.  Special topics relating to club management would likewise be given importance for presentations to current club management or those wishing to learn more about those issues.  We will be drawing upon experts in various fields for presenters in future presentations.
