[SBE16-Seattle] Fw: First Informer Broadcaster Legislation: Signed and Delivered!

[Andrew Skotdal]

Keith Shipman deserves twice the thanks since he was integral in getting it done in Oregon, first, with Bill Johnstone.  This is an effort that has been discussed among all of you and at the WSAB board level since Katrina (over 11 years ago!), and it was the dogged handful like Arthur, Clay, Mark, Keith, Bill and others who prioritized it and got it done.  The WSAB board and OAB boards also deserve credit along with the SBE for prioritizing this initiative in order to give their leaders the authority to march.  Law enforcement types were initially resistant, and this was truly a broad group effort.  Congratulations!

I'm glad to see the fruition of this legislation from its beginning 3 years ago, when Clay Freinwald and I got in touch with SBE Chapter 124 in Oregon and began the process.  I give a big Thank you to the current WSAB/OAB president Keith Shipman and former WSAB president Mark Allen for all their hard work!  And of course, thanks to concerned SBE Chapter 16 members and local broadcasters who have supported this legislation.

I'm registered!  I encourage all who need to get to stations and transmitters in a time of disaster to do the same now and not waiting until the emergency to happen first.  This will assist in ensuring that beneficial safety information can continue to be broadcasted to those affected.
