We are the Society of Broadcast Engineers:

The Society of Broadcast Engineers (SBE) is the only organization devoted to the advancement of all levels and types of broadcast engineering

With more than 5,000 members and 114 local chapters, the SBE provides a forum for the exchange of ideas and sharing of information to help you keep pace with our rapidly changing industry. The SBE amplifies the voices of broadcast engineers by validating your skills with professional certification, by offering educational opportunities to maintain and expand those skills and by speaking out on technical regulatory issues that affect how you work. SBE 15 is the local New York City Chapter. We welcome broadcast engineers and anyone interested in the technologies of broadcast radio, television and associated fields.
