On April 26, 2000 it was decided to form the "NEW" Rensselaer County ARES/RACES Radio Club. Not only will this keep ARES & RACES under one "roof top" but it will help in the long run to keep stability for both groups. At their May meeting all the paperwork had been completed for the "Constitution & By Laws" for this new organization and by the end of June it was adopted by the membership. It was also determined that the December meeting each year would serve as the annual elections of officers.  Officers serve for a 2 year term.

The list above are those that were elected by the membership at the January 2022 meeting. These new officers for ARES will hold office until January of 2024. It should be noted that RACES Officers are appointed by Rensselaer County BOES Director - Jay Wilson. Only the ARES Officers are elected at the annual elections.

Please remember that we're presently holding our ARES/RACES Training Net every Thursday (except third Thursday of every month) at 7:30 PM, on the 147.18 Repeater  in Grafton.  We're going to need as many of you as possible for these nets and hopefully they'll quickly become a valuable training aid.
