(Chairman’s Chat - continued from page 1)
The SBE National turned 50 and celebrated that anniversary at the NAB this year. I hope that those of you who
made the event can give us a nice recap of that and your thoughts on the convention in general. We still don't
know what the results of the Re-branding Committee that our own Ed Miller was on are, but we should hear
soon. They had their Board meeting at NAB so it may take a bit.
