"Why isn't anyone doing anything to attract new Amateurs and especially Yo uth?!"
This is a common refrain heard at meetings of Amateur Radio organizations
around the world and also at RAC Headquarters. The answer is: they are bu
t we can all do more!
Amateur Radio club newsletters and websites and the pages of The Canadian
Amateur magazine and the RAC website are full of examples of what Amateur
s are doing to attract Youth and new Amateurs of all ages. But we have to
do better.
The “Attracting and Retaining New Amateurs” presentation i
s an experiment in working together to achieve a common goal, and the li
st of Amateurs who have helped to put it together and are willing to help
out in this new initiative is extensive.
We only have 50 minutes but we hope to give you a glimpse of what is alrea
dy taking place and then have an "open panel discussion" where we can lear
n more about what you are already doing and what you think we should all d
o – but you have to attend the Conference to let us know.
We plan to end the presentation with “The Next Steps: Where Do We
Go From Here” and we will be looking for volunteers! It is going
to be a very interesting and entertaining 50 minutes!
