NAMES IN THE NEWS: ARRL MEDIA AND PUBLIC RELATIONS MANAGER
ALLEN PITTS, W1AGP, RETIRES
After more than eight years as the ARRL Media and Public
Relations Manager, Allen Pitts, W1AGP, has retired.
During his tenure, Pitts was responsible for developing
public relations campaigns that featured the many facets of
the Amateur Radio Service. The first of these was the
simple but very effective Hello Radio campaign in 2006 that
highlighted the fun and friendships of ham radio. That was
followed by Emergency Radio, which built on the ARRL and the
Amateur Radio Service's response during Hurricane Katrina.
Next was his We Do That - Radio in 2008 showcased the
technologies used in Amateur Radio. Pitts rounded out his
career by spearheading the 2011 with the Do It Yourself or
DIY campaign aimed at recruiting members of the burgeoning
maker and hacker community to expand their horizons through
becoming amateur radio operators.
While W1AGP has retired from day to day work at ARRL
headquarters, he has not severed his ties with the national
society. The ARRL is currently seeking a new Media and
Public Relations Manager. In the interim, Pitts has agreed
to continue on a very limited part-time basis during the
selection process to find a successor. He also hopes to be
able to work as a consultant on the League's Centennial
projects, celebrating the 100th anniversary of the ARRL.
