ROAR Has Been Renamed |
|
The Rotary International Fellowship, formerly known
as Rotarians of Amateur Radio, or ROAR, has been
renamed Regions of Amateur Radio.
This action
followed a decision by Rotary International to
disestablish the Rotarians of Amateur Radio
fellowship as of the 25th May 2023. The decision was
taken because of disagreement on a number of
fellowship governance issues, mainly around
financial management and bylaws. In short, the
various ROAR leaders could not all agree on a way
ahead, which resulted in the Rotary fellowship being
wound up.
While the formal links with Rotary
no longer exist, former members of ROAR now continue
to engage in their amateur radio activities through
a renamed group called Regions of Amateur Radio, the
new ROAR.
Little has changed at the grass
roots level. Members still have scheduled radio
nets, both on HF and digital modes.
But, two
major changes have occurred. First, former members
from North and South America have split from the new
group. Secondly, members of the new ROAR no longer
pay fees or have any financial obligations. The new
ROAR is a purely informal group of radio amateurs
who have a common interest in Rotary and the hobby
of amateur radio. |
