Hi Lori,

Are you only interested in the input of people licenced in amateur radio?
I ask because I know a number of unlicensed people who would be interested who I would like to invite.
As one of ARDC's granting goals is about inspiring more people into amateur radio, a license is not required to join one of these calls.
That said, Saturday's call is primarily for folks on the 44net mailing list. If the people you're inviting are or want to be part of it, absolutely invite them! If not, then they are still welcome to come, but I'd ask to give the floor to 44net folks first.
It's also worth noting that, assuming we have decent attendance (which is looking good), this will likely not be the last call like this that we do.
Hope this helps, and looking forward to seeing you Saturday.
All the best, Rosy

Hello 44net!
Hope you are healthy and well wherever you are. I'm writing to invite you to a couple of things.
- ARDC Grantmaking Survey
The first is an invitation to take this survey about ARDC grant making, which you can find here:
https://www.mysurveygizmo.com/s3/5789610/ARDC-Grantmaking-Feedback-Survey
The survey covers our existing granting goals and some of the kinds of projects that we've funded so far. What do you think? What other grants would you like to see? Do you know of organizations, either in the US or abroad, that you'd like to see us fund? Let us know - it shouldn't take more than 5 minutes, more if you decide to give some longer written-out answers.
- 44net + ARDC Community Video Call
We'll go over the results together in a community video call, happening Saturday Oct. 10, 2020, at 17:00 UTC (10am PT / 1pm ET / 6pm BST / 7pm CEST).
On this call, we'll introduce ARDC Board members, grants advisory committee members, and staff; go over the survey results together; talk about our grants made to date; and talk about any questions you have. If there's anything in particular you'd like ARDC to cover in the call, please let us know by responding to this mail or sending me a message directly: rosy@ampr.org.
Here is the link to the call:
https://meet.jit.si/ardc-44net-community-meeting-oct-10-2020A note on the times: I realize that the times listed are more convenient for folks in the Americas, Africa, and Europe. If enough people from Asia and Australia wish to join but can't for timing reasons, we may do another group call for those time zones. Part of this exercise is also learning about 44net's distribution - where is everyone located? I'm looking forward to finding out.
I'm also looking forward to better getting to know 44net and the greater ham community, and to use what I learn to help shape ARDC's 2021 grantmaking strategy. We are in a fortunate position to do a lot of good in the world - so let's do it!
All the best, Rosy
