The ARRL North Texas Section soon will have a new Section Manager. Nancy McCain, K5NLM, of Fort Worth, will take over the position on May 1, succeeding incumbent SM Chris Brewer, N5GMJ, who resigned due to increased work and family commitments.

Brewer, of Saginaw, has served as the North Texas Section Manager since April 30, 2013.
