Dave Patton, NN1N, is manager of the ARRL Membership and Volunteer Programs (MVP) Department, formerly known as Field and Educational Services. Dave has been serving head of this department since September 2005, during which he led that department through the Katrina disaster relief efforts. A member of the ARRL Headquarters staff since 1999, he previously served as special assistant to ARRL CEO David Sumner, K1ZZ. He also has been a key figure in the rollout of the League's successful Logbook of the World (LoTW) project. He holds bachelor's and master's degrees in geography from Western Illinois University. Prior to attending college he served as a Navy radioman. A nearly lifelong, enthusiastic, and dedicated radio amateur, Patton was first licensed as WD9DCL in 1977 at age 12 and has held quite a long list of call signs since then--most recently W9QA and NT1N.
