    Indiana Section Information

        The 15 Divisions of the League are arranged into 71 administrative Sections, each headed by an elected Section Manager (SM). (The Central Division consists of three sections; Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin.)

        Your Section Manager is the person to contact when you have news about your activities, or those of your radio club. Click on these Section Links for information about your Section Manager and other Section Representatives. These news items could find their way into the Section News. If you need assistance with a local problem, your section manager is your first point of contact. He or she can put you in touch with various ARRL volunteers who can help (such as technical specialists). Your section manager is also the person to see if you'd like to become a section volunteer. Whatever your license class, your SM has an appointment available.
