On Thursday, March 18, 2010, SBE Chapter 128, met in the NBA Board Room.  The purpose of the Las Vegas meeting was to reorganize, rebuild and to move the chapter forward.  There was much discussion around the table as to what direction the chapter would go in.  In the current atmosphere where "less is more" and broadcast engineers have more responsibilities with fewer support staff, the challenge of finding the time required to run an SBE chapter is challenging.  There were many excellent thoughts expressed and  the outcome produced a successful election of officers.

Ray's outlined his goals and focus as Chairman.  "GROW the membership, OFFER programs that relate to what we do daily and EDUCATE our owners and peers as to the SBE’s purposes and benefits. Also to provide a place where the members and guest want to go to share and acquire information, camaraderie and once in a while just to have a good old Vegas time. Let’s all look forward to sharing ideas with our group, let’s have the courage to change what we need to and let’s have the smarts to keep it as simple as possible."
