New Years' Resolution: Become an SBE Mentor/Mentee
The SBE Mentor Program is designed to help broadcast engineers who are new to the field.  the program partners a new engineer with a more seasoned professional who shares his or her gained knowledge, both empirical and practical with someone new to the field.  For the seasoned mentor, it is a chance to give something back.  for the mentee, it is an ideal way to gain inside knowledge and understanding that can sometimes take years to accumulate.

Mentors and mentees are paired to work together for one year.  They can establish a schedule that works best for them, but the SBE suggests that they connect by phone t least once every two weeks.
 
For more information, please contact Education Director Cathy Orosz or by phone at 317-846-9000.
