Oregon Radio Clubs Meeting Notes
During the last Oregon Radio Clubs Meeting, we discussed benefits of becoming an ARRL affiliated club, and how to apply for and maintain ARRL affiliation.
Benefits include:
- Access to Liability Insurance
- New Member Referrals
- Membership Recruitment Commissions
- Mailing Lists
- ARRL Annual Report
There are four club categories:
- Local Amateur Radio Clubs (category one)
- Regionally or Nationally Organized Amateur Radio Groups (category two)
- Local School or Youth Groups, or Clubs for the Elderly or Disabled (category three)
- Club Councils (Clubs of Clubs) (category four)
Once a club is ARRL affiliated, it will always be an ARRL affiliated club. However, to keep your club in active status, clubs must update their club listing through the ARRL website. To update your site, one of people listed on the club page must edit the page. If you are unable to edit your club’s ARRL listing, please contact Max Sabo, your Affiliated Club Coordinator at max@noltra.com.
To lookup your club, or other clubs, use the ARRL Club Search page, here: https://www.arrl.org/find-a-club
ARRL publishes a Club Primer that helps clubs get started in the affiliation process. This is also a great read for any club leadership on how to gain more members, increase club enthusiasm, and increasing engagement. The primer can be downloaded here: http://www.arrl.org/active-club-primer
