Pat Malan
ARRL Utah Section Manager
January 29, 2025
Utah ARRL Community,
I am writing to you with a mix of gratitude and a heavy heart to announce my decision to step down as ARRL Utah Section Manager, effective February 1st, 2025. As many of you may know, I have recently experienced a month-long hospitalization. While I am on the road to recovery, it has become clear to me that, for the best interests of the Utah Section, I must pass the reins to someone who can fully dedicate themselves to this important role. Please join me in giving Brett Pruitt, K7BDP, our ongoing support in the days ahead as he completes my term through June 30.
Serving as your Section Manager has been a welcome privilege.
Stepping away is not an easy decision, but it is the right one. Our mission demands a leader who can give their full energy and attention to the work at hand, and I believe this transition will allow the Utah Section to continue thriving without interruption.
While I am resigning from this role, my commitment to our mission and values remains steadfast.
Thank you for the trust you have placed in me and for the kindness, support, and camaraderie you have extended throughout my tenure. I am profoundly grateful to the Cabinet members and the dedication they have shown in serving the amateur radio community.
73,
Pat Malan
Utah ARRL Section Manager
