SBE 15 TO HELPS WITH CERTIFICATION COSTS

SBE 15 will reimburse any member of Chapter 15 that passes a Certification test. Additonally, any active member of SBE 15 will receive reimbursement for their purchase of a CertPreview CD!  To be eligible, you must:

* be a member of Chapter 15 in good standing (ie, your membership is up to date) OR apply for membership in Chapter 15 with your Certification application.

* purchase a CertPreview CD from SBE National.

* apply for and take a Certification Exam (you will need to provide payment with the application)

* pass the Exam

George will inform the Officers of your accomplishment, and SBE 15 will reimburse your Certification fee!  You will be reimbursed for the Cert Preview CD regardless of whether you take and/or pass the exam.  Of course, as with any great offer, there are restrictions.  Note that we will be reimbursing you for only the Certification fee, not your membership fee if you are not yet a member and become a member of Chapter 15.  Please also note that this is only for passing a Certification Exam.  We will not be reimbursing for re-Certification.

If you acquire the CertPreview disk, SBE 15 will now reimburse you for your purchase.  What a great incentive to become Certified!

SBE 14 TO SPONSOR ENNES WORKSHOP

SBE 14 in Connecticut will be sponsoring an Ennes Workshop on Saturday, September 13.  They are still working on details.  More info will be posted when available.

SBE-NEWS

By now, you should have been seeing the new SBE-news email that goes out from National every two weeks.  Conrad and his committee have been working hard on the marketing aspects of NAB with great success.  If you haven't seen a copy, SBE National most likely does not have your email address.  Contact Conrad and he'll get you on the list!  Let's give Conrad a hand for bringing a great idea to fruition!

SBE 15 WORKING TOWARDS ARMSTRONG PLAQUE AT EMPIRE

Thanks to a suggestion back in December, we've started the ball rolling to place a commemorative plaque in a very public area of Empire to let it be known that Empire has a unique place in the history of FM radio.  A committee has been formed, headed up by Joe Giardino and John Lyons, and Empire is very receptive to this idea.  More details will emerge as we progress.

GARY SGRIGNOLI'S 8-VSB SEMINAR

SBE 15 is working on bringing Gary Sgrignoli's 8-VSB seminar to NYC.   Stay tuned.
