The US segment of Amateur Radio on the International Space Station (ARISS-USA) has augmented its senior leadership team with five new members. In May 2020, ARISS-USA created a new 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization to enhance and expand ARISS initiatives in the US. ARISS says the new membership will support the variety of new functions and roles within ARISS-USA.
Martin “Marty” Schulman, NV3H, will be Associate Director, working with Executive Director Frank Bauer, KA3HDO, in delegating routine tasks, enhancing perspective, and backing up the executive director as necessary. He will also serve as a member of the ARISS-USA Board of Directors. Schulman has more than 30 years of experience in telecommunications, programming, and computer security, and is an active volunteer with the Sterling Park Amateur Radio Club (SPARC) in Virginia.
Tom Henderson, W9YW, has been named Secretary, with a primary duty of ensuring that the internal matters of the organization run smoothly and efficiently. He will record and keep the minutes of all meetings of the Board of Directors. Henderson will also serve as the custodian of the ARISS-USA minute book and additional books and records as the Board may direct. His background is in IT infrastructure and systems security research. He is currently the president of the Bloomington Amateur Radio Club (BARC) in Indiana.
