Who Should Join SBE?
Students in grades nine through
12 who have an interest in the technical side of broadcasting
are eligible for Youth membership
in SBE.
If you are active with your school radio or television
station, an amateur radio club or have your own amateur
radio
station and have an interest
in the technology
that makes them operate, then Youth membership in SBE is for you! Maybe
you have not had the opportunity to get involved in one of the station
activities mentioned,
but you have an interest in communications technology - computers,
transmitters, audio and video equipment - membership
in SBE can help you learn more
about the field.

Simply fill out a Youth
Membership Application,
sign it and return it to the SBE National Office with
your dues payment. Youth member dues
are
$10 per year.
Your membership expiration date will be one year from the end of
the month in which you join.
Once approved, you
will receive your SBE membership card and will be placed
on the mailing list for
The Connector, which is
