Chapter Finances
Chapter Rebate – Qualifying chapters receive an annual cash rebate of a portion of the national membership dues paid by regular, senior and associate members. Rebates are paid on June 1 each year to chapters who have met at least five times during the previous year and provided documentation to the National Office of the program content and attendance.
Chapter Bank Accounts - Federal banking laws require an IRS-issued, Employer Identification Number (EIN), although chapters do not employ anyone, to open a bank account for your chapter. An EIN is easy to obtain and can be done online, as well as by phone, fax or mail. We have prepared an easy "just for SBE chapters" EIN line-by-line instruction sheet to help you complete the on-line form.

Each chapter has a calendar on the SBE National website. The calendar is intended to help prospective members, vendors, the media and others, learn the details of your chapter’s upcoming meetings.
