IRA Delegate check-ins and any dues payments will start at 9:00 AM, with the meeting starting at 10:00 AM sharp. When dues are paid in advance the check-in process is quicker and eliminates much of the delay. As in the past we anticipate the meeting to conclude around 1:00 PM.

An IRA "Membership Information" form on file, listing the delegates (maximum of two) and signed by the president and/or trustee of your association showing paid up dues for 2025 are all that are needed to vote at the meeting.

Every vote is important so that your association can effectively represent you in the multi-faceted problems facing the repeater owners of the country and Illinois in particular. Therefore, if you cannot attend this meeting and have no delegate in mind, we suggest that you appoint one of the current IRA officers or directors to be your delegate. If you later decide to attend the meeting, your presence or the presence of any of your regular delegate(s) suspends any previous delegate appointment and/or written proxy.

If you have any questions, concerns or would like to have a subject placed on the agenda please contact the Secretary/Treasurer at the address below or the IRA President.
