New ALO appointed: Don Wallace ZL2TLL

As stated in NZART"s Official Broadcast for October 2007 by NZART President Bruce Douglas ZL2WP, that Council has been pleased to appoint Don Wallace ZL2TLL who is a Fellow of the Institution of Professional Engineers New Zealand (IPENZ) its new Administration Liaison Officer (ALO).

Don who has qualifications in both engineering and public policy, has been involved in all aspects of telecommunications and in all parts of the market (user, provider and regulatory). He brings to NZART a mix of strategic and management level experience coupled with the ability, where required, to "drill down" into high complexity specialist technical areas and Council looks forward to its dealings with Don in this important role.

Don has also been a radio amateur since his secondary school days, has served in many different positions on the Wellington VHF Group committee, was elected a life member for his service to the Group and has the perhaps dubious distinction of having won the stirrer"s award at a couple of NZART conferences.
