In 2007, Massachusetts Governor Duvall Patrick signed Executive Order 493, calling for the establishment of a State Interoperability Executive Committee. The Massachusetts SIEC includes the Secretary of Transportation and Public Works, the Director of the Massachusetts Emergency Management Agency, the Adjutant General of the Massachusetts National Guard, the Colonel of the State Police and the State Fire Marshal, as well as representatives from local emergency service providers, local health officials, local transportation agencies, local emergency management agencies, public safety dispatch communications and non-governmental charitable organizations. "This year, the SIEC decided to tap the ARRL to represent the non-governmental charitable organizations category area, due in part to its expertise in communication matters and close working relationships with its client organizations, such as the American Red Cross," said ARRL Eastern Massachusetts Public Information Coordinator Bob Salow, WA1IDA.
