Connect With New Members

The Missing Piece to Our Puzzle

Membership Drive

Members are the future of the SBE. Shape the direction of the society and connect new recruits with their future by inviting them to become members of the SBE. Membership with the SBE connects fellow engineers and offers certification, education and other opportunities that can shape an engineer’s future and the future of the broadcast engineering industry. With each member you recruit your name will be entered into the prize drawing. Your name is placed in the drawing once for each approved new Regular or Associate member – five times for a new Sustaining member.
