The Society of Broadcast Engineers maintains chapters in more than 100 cities across the United States. All major markets have a chapter, as do most medium-size markets. Even some smaller markets have active chapters.

Though chartered by the national organization, SBE chapters operate as independent sub-groups, electing their own officers and planning their own monthly programs. Members can elect to be assigned to any chapter they wish, regardless of their own home or work location. Virtually all chapters welcome non-members to attend meetings; of course, we hope non-members like what they see and will soon join themselves!

SBE chapters that qualify with quality programs (and most do qualify!) receive an annual cash rebate of a portion of the national membership dues paid by regular, senior and associate members. This makes it possible for most chapters to not charge any local membership dues at all.

To locate a chapter near you, go to Find a Chapter by State . You'll find a list of SBE chapters and the name and contact information of the chairman for each chapter. Contact the chairman for the most up-to-date information about their next meeting.
