Top Ten Reasons to Pay Your SBE Dues

Sure signs of spring: An obnoxious mockingbird singing all night just outside your bedroom, weeds in your landscaping which demand pulling or they will multiply by the thousands, and (tah dah!) SBE wants you to join or renew your membership.

Top Ten reasons why you should renew or apply for membership:

10. Dues support our local chapter in its efforts to buy its own TV station.

9. Schmooze with the people who do the hiring or know the people who do the hiring around town. Show them your faults BEFORE getting an interview.

8. SBE represents you in Congressional issues such as import duties on vending machine foods.

7. Eat free food at our meetings without feeling like a sneak.

6. Meetings provide an outlet for talking shop at meetings. Neither your family nor your pet have been paying attention.

5. Get discounts on NAB Convention full registration. Allows you to catch a few winks at those technical presentations.

4. Save money through the SBE technical bookstore on some real page-turners.

3. Get free access to the SBE job line listings for hundreds of ways to leave town.

2. Make your workbench look more like a doctor's office with an 11 x 14 SBE Certificate proving technical competence short of doing open-heart surgery. Some will require it for employment. Some employers will give you a raise. Some will give you a laurel and a hearty handshake.

1. Check out technical videos for free and fast-forward them in anticipation of secretly-placed babes in action.

If you're already a member, send in your renewal. If you've been sitting on the fence about this, get off it before you make a new groove. File an application found on our website.
