The Fort Wayne Radio Club conducted elections for club officers and the board of directors for the 2016 club year during the club's October general meeting on October 16, 2015 at Good Shepherd United Methodist Church. Since only one person ran for each of the positions of president, vice president, secretary, treasurer and communications manager, the club elected all candidates by acclimation.
Six people ran for three positions on the board of directors: Tom Baker, N9TB; Terry Bowman, K9FMX; Kim Machamer, KB9DOS; Linda Nardin, W9LAN; Paul Prestia, KA3OPZ; and Tom Rupp, KU8T.
