Notes from our December, 2025 meeting:

SBE Chapter 20 held our monthly meeting Wednesday, December 10th, 2025 at WPXI-TV 4145 Evergreen Rd, Pittsburgh. There were 11 members and guests in attendance.

We started with news on presenters for the next couple of meetings. SBE News followed with mentions of incentives for obtaining SBE certification or upgrading. A video will be presented at a future meeting. Discussion on forming an education committee to reach out to local colleges and make sure they are members of the PAB so they can take advantage of incentives to join the SBE.

We also discussed hosting an Ennes Workshop, which with help from the SBE, the Chapter would like to schedule sometime in the fall. This would open an opportunity for engineering students from local colleges to attend. We will also be reaching out to SBE Chapters in surrounding areas to see if they have an interest in the workshop.

It was also announced that Ben Neuhart is now our local Certification Chairman.

It was decided to meet again Wednesday, January 14th at noon in the WPXI Executive Conference Room. We will have a presentation from Jeff Welton of Nautel.
