Perhaps it could be made a strong recommendataion (again?) that hirings are conditional (or not announced) until an exam pass can be reported.
I really don't think it makes sense for a ham license to be a requirement for working at ARDC.
Yes, of course, we'll continue to strongly encourage anyone working with us who isn't licensed to consider acquiring one. But over time, it may be important to have skills and experiences on staff that are completely orthogonal to an interest in ham radio.
Something else is also missing: 2021-05-15 (last week) was the deadline for filing AMPR's charitable accounts. Was this done?
No. But, it's all "ok".
I'd hoped we'd be able to file ahead of the 2021-05-15 deadline this year, but the pandemic continues to complicate and slow things down. In particular, the decision by the IRS to push out the the personal tax return filing deadline from 15 April to 15 May this year apparently really messed up many accounting firm plans and schedules.
Our accountants filed for a deadline extension on our behalf, which is a pretty "normal" thing to do (we had one last year, too). Regardless, we're nearly done and expect "final" documents from them shortly which will then need to be reviewed, possibly tweaked, and approved by the board's audit committee before we can sign off and submit the various filings.
Stay tuned!
