[SBE] SBE will focus on EAS education for its members

[Russ VanderHorst]

Good Morning John,

I am curious if SBE will have anything online such as a webinar for this
subject. Because of my neurological problems it is getting harder for me to
stand/walk/drive etc and not spill my coffee all over :-)

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Russ VanderHorst, CBT

SBE will focus on EAS education for its members

October 27, 2010, Madison, WI - At the Oct. 26 meeting of the Society of
Broadcast Engineers Board of Directors, the SBE Board reaffirmed the
Society's focus in its role with the Emergency Alert System to educate and
inform its members, as well as serve as a technical resource to the
broadcast industry regarding EAS.

Also at the meeting, the Board created a new committee to carry out this
mission. Called the SBE EAS Education Committee, SBE President Vinny Lopez,
CEV CBNT, appointed Ralph Beaver, CBT, to chair this committee.
Beaver's involvement with EAS began with his work in broadcast emergency
alerting in the state of Florida in 1973 and includes his recent leadership
of the SBE's former EAS Committee.

"EAS is about to undergo significant changes with the adoption of the Common
Alerting Protocol (CAP) and SBE members seek information about how to
implement these changes and remain compliant with FCC rules," said President
Lopez. "The SBE is in a unique position to gather and deliver this
information through the work of this new committee. The SBE continues to
serve as technical resource to the broadcast industry."

The SBE discussion e-mail list, called the EAS Exchange, continues to be an
active resource of EAS information for SBE members and non-members alike.
