SBC Connection

Have you ever wished that you could get the benefits of attending a meeting without the hassle of driving there and back? Would you participate in more chapter functions if they were done in your office? Are you interested in learning more about the new online meeting technologies?

Why not check out SBC Connection – where face-to-face unites with convenience!

SBC Connection allows members and chapters to conduct meetings using internet technology that combines a teleconference and the internet-based ability to present and work with meeting materials. The fees are nominal, and they are nothing compared to room rental fees, traveling costs or meeting meal charges. Of course, the best part is that everyone is able to attend from their own home or office.

Testimonials
SBC Connection is shaping up to be the next best thing when it comes to chapter meetings. Members who have never been able to attend meetings in the past will now be able to join in, and those who have attended will see the savings in time and travel. But don’t just take our word for it. Listen to what the attendees of the March 13 California Chapter meeting are saying:

	“I believe this is an excellent format for time and money savings.” – Karen Wilson, Universal Truss, Inc., Fontana, CA
	“I was quite pleased with the meeting turnout and participation. I believe for the balance of the year our chapter meetings should be conducted in this manner and on the state level. Personally, I believe that by having statewide meetings and conducting them by teleconference, participants are more comfortable in expressing their opinions. If nothing else, the meetings are far less expensive to put on and consume far less time away from the office.” – Gary Sartor, California Chapter President, Stone Truss Company, Inc., Oceanside CA
	“Great idea. This makes it much easier to participate.” – Michael Fisher, Western Wood Fabricators, Inc., Elverta, CA
