[SBE16-Board] [SBE16-Seattle] Travel Alert for Washington Broadcast Engineers During COVID-19!

[Dave Ratener]

 Jim and the SBE 16-Board:
I decided to send this email to both at the same time,  I didn't get a chance to talk to John Poray directly but did get his assistant,  she read me a letter that John had sent to another chapter that was asking the same question.  

Basically we don't have to have a in person board meeting or a in person chapter meeting  for the month of April because of the Corona virus situation,  however we can, at our discretion have both meetings in a virtual (video) method or a phone conference call.  Either method is fine and we will get credit for it.  The decision is ours.  Based on this I am going to ask the board to agree to have a conference call with a bridge if Ryan from Kiro can arrange it - at least for the board meeting and then we can decide what we want to do for the chapter meeting.  Normally John sends out a letter to all chapter chairs prior to the start of each month, if he sends one out to me for April I will let everybody know.
If this is acceptable to everybody please let me know.  Thanks guys and please be safe.
Dave Ratener

I saw the governor's news conference about this,, he specifically stated that the media was critical in helping get information out to the public.   I  can't believe that they would stop the media if you have a business card and/or some sort of identification,  at least i would hope not.

The BRE program is fantastic, but it isn't applicable in the present situation.  All media staff, including engineers, studio operations, and journalists, are classified as essential workers in the governor's order.  See pages 8-9 in the link below.
