Program Ideas for SBE Chapters

SBE knows it can be a battle to find good program ideas for monthly chapter meetings. In an effort to make this search easier, the SBE National Office has created a list of chapter program ideas to help local chapters find good topics for their meetings.

Click here to view the list of chapter program ideas.

Board/Chapter Liaisons

Each chapter has been assigned a member of the SBE Board to serve as a primary contact for your chapter. Click here to find your liaison.

Chapter Finances

Chapter Rebate – SBE chapters that qualify with quality programs receive an annual cash rebate of a portion of the national membership dues paid by regular, senior and associate members.

Chapter Bank Accounts - Federal banking laws require an IRS-issued, Employer Identification Number (EIN), even though you don't employ anyone, to open a bank account for your chapter. An EIN is easy to get and can be done on-line, as well as by phone, fax or mail. We've prepared an easy "just for SBE chapters" EIN line-by-line instruction sheet to help you compete the on-line form.

SBE Logos

SBE chapters and members may use the official SBE logo on chapter newsletters, websites, meeting report forms, etc. Members may use the official logo to indicate their status as an active member on business cards, personal websites, letterhead, etc. Click here to download the offical logo and for instructions on correct usage.

Web Toolkit, Web Hosting and Member e-mail lists

With the growing popularity of websites and Internet communication, SBE wants to make it easier for new chapters to come up with ideas for their specific chapter websites. Now, individual chapters have an easy-to-use tool to build their own sites.

Chapters in need of a host for their web site or who wish to establish email lists for their members to communicate among themselves may find our "Electronic Communications" resource article helpful.
