ARRL[1]��The National Association for Amateur Radio� has published its 2023
Annual Report[2], which includes a summary of the year's program activities,
along with the 2023 and 2022 financial statements and an independent auditor's
report.

ARRL marked 2023 as the Year of the Volunteers, recognizing the nearly 57,000
volunteers who contribute to supporting the organization and the wider amateur
radio community. "The future of amateur radio rests on the shoulders of
volunteers, and every one of us can be a volunteer," said ARRL President Rick
Roderick, K5UR, in his message in the annual report. The report highlights the
involvement of volunteers across program areas, including ARRL Volunteer
Examiners and Amateur Radio Emergency Service� (ARES�) volunteers.

"It seems right for an organization like ours, which is fueled by volunteers,
to take a moment to recognize the countless individuals who share their time,
talent, and treasure with ARRL to advance the hobby we all love," said ARRL
Chief Executive Officer David A. Minster, NA2AA, in his included report.
Minster also noted the celebration of the ARRL Foundation's 50 years in 2023.
Its work has benefited the charitable, educational and scientific efforts of
the amateur radio community. Minster recognized the generous contributions from
Amateur Radio Digital Communications (ARDC), which renewed commitments
amounting to more than $2.1 million to support club grants, education programs,
and scholarships. "This represents the largest single commitment ever for our
organizations," said Minster.

Also included in the annual report is ARRL's Report to America, which
references the involvement of amateur radio operators during natural disasters
that occurred in 2023, in addition to formal partnership agreements with served
agencies including the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC). In May 2023, ARRL entered into an
updated Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with FEMA, to enhance cooperation between
ARES� and FEMA in providing disaster communications -- When All Else Fails�.

The ARRL 2023 Annual Report is available for download at
