Check out SBE’s online member directory and buyers’ guide
A new web-based service, developed by SBE, will provide members a faster and more accurate way to locate other members, suppliers and information about the SBE. The new SBE Membership Directory and Buyers’ Guide can be found on the SBE website. Members can access the directory by going to the website homepage and clicking on the membership directory link in the upper right corner of the page. There, you’ll find a table of contents similar to that provided in the paper directory we have published since 1995.
The new directory will help SBE members find other members, find a chapter, and even find sustaining members (suppliers). Another feature from the paper directory that continues in the web-based service is the list of members who advertise their services as contract or consulting engineers.
The SBE Buyers’ Guide is also included in the new directory, making it easier than ever to find the services and products you need. Take a minute to check it out!
Attention all Contract and Consulting Engineers
You may or may not be aware that the SBE has a Contract and Consulting Engineer listing page on the SBE website. Be sure to check it out, and if you are interested in adding your name to the CCE listing, download the application and follow the instructions to submit it to the national office.
SBE Certification celebrates 37 years
On November 13, 1975 the concept of the SBE Program of Certification was adopted by the Board of Directors. It was officially launched in 1977. The Program of Certification was established to recognize and raise the professional status of broadcast engineers by providing standards of professional competence. Through the years, it has become recognized in the industry as the primary method of verifying the attainment of educational standards.
The program currently offers 15 certifications ranging from entry-level with no experience requirement to an advanced level with 20 years of broadcast engineering experience required.
The program would not be possible if not for the volunteer efforts of the National Certification Committee and the local Chapter Certification Chairmen throughout the country both past and present.
Visit the SBE website for more information on the certifications offered.
Best of Luck
Sending our best to SBE Board Member Scott Mason CPBE, CBNT and Gene “Bean” Baxter of the “Kevin and Bean” morning show on KROQ. Bean will be donating a kidney to Mason, his long time friend. Read more from Radio Ink here.
