INDIANAPOLIS — The Society of Broadcast Engineers has scheduled a daylong strategic planning meeting for June 9 in Indianapolis, preceded by a welcome reception on June 8.
The event is open to all SBE chapter chairs and will also be attended by members of the board of directors and the national staff.
Attendees are responsible for their individual travel, hotel and incidental costs, but some individual chapters have paid for their chair’s expenses; the SBE “highly encourages” chapters to do so, according to the announcement.
It has been six years since the SBE held a meeting of this kind, and it will be the sixth the society has held since 1990, according to the announcement.

A professional facilitator will help the SBE to identify the direction that the society should take to best serve members and to build on its strengths. In the past, the SBE has revamped its educational programming and certifications, changed member communication and generally recalibrated its mission after these meetings.
The event will be held at the Hilton Indianapolis Hotel and Suites.
