An Assistant Emergency Coordinator (AEC) helps keep our ARES team connected, prepared, and ready to serve the community. Working alongside the Emergency Coordinator, an AEC supports volunteers, helps organize training and exercises, and assists with emergency communications when needed.
AECs may focus on an area such as training, net operations, equipment readiness, or coordination with community partners. They welcome new members, encourage participation, and help turn plans into practical teamwork.
Above all, an AEC is an approachable, dependable teammate – someone willing to listen, share knowledge, take initiative, and help others succeed. It’s an opportunity to grow as a leader while making a meaningful contribution through amateur radio and public service.
Recruitment of new hams and League members is an integral part of the job of every League appointee. Appointees should take advantage of every opportunity to recruit a new ham or member to foster growth of Field Organization programs, and our abilities to serve the public.
Requirements: Full ARRL membership; FCC Technician class amateur radio license or higher.
Marion County ARES Additions
In addition to the roles and responsibilities listed above, Marion County ARES has outlined the following additional roles associated to all officers.
- You are responsible for training someone who can fill in for you if you are unable to participate. As our roles develop, it would be wise to encourage someone to learn your tasks so that they can be designated as your potential replacement.
- Once per quarter, all Marion County ARES members should validate all of their contact information on HamClubOnline.
