It's already too late.

I was a member for a while, and had a business relationship with SBE
for while.  Good people, good ideas, like Barry Thomas' contention
that it was still Broadcast whether or not it went out over RF and the
people who made it happen still needed the organization.

Unfortunately, the economics of the core business fell out from under
everybody.  It's nobody's fault, but broadcast engineering isn't a
valid career field anymore except maybe in big markets and as such
doesn't require a national service organization.
