Letter from the Executive Director
We are pleased to introduce the Online Membership Manager (OMM) system as our latest member benefit. OMM will provide all members access to a secured portion of SBCA website with new interactive features. The password protected website is designed to provide resources specific to the member depending on their membership type. It is our intention to make OMM the premier information resource for the satellite industry.
Once a member enters their login they can download & view the details only specific to their membership type. This will help them better understand the benefits they are receiving from the SBCA.
In order to begin receiving all of the benefits of the OMM system, all members will be asked to enter a company profile for SBCA records. This will provide members the capability to keep their contact information current. In addition this will provide a company profile that will enable other members to contact them regarding new business opportunities. The SBCA frequently receives inquiries from member organizations who wish to tap the talent and ability of our membership base for new products or business opportunities. By having a detailed company profile it will be easier for these organizations to identify potential business partners and contact them to discuss these opportunities.
Another valuable feature is our newly launched full service Job Board which will give members the ability to post jobs & search resumes. One of the most difficult challenges for our members is to find qualified personnel. The Job Board will enable members to post for specific jobs including, sales, management, installation and operations. The Job Board will also provide the ability for individuals to post their resumes which our members will be able to search in order to find ideal candidates to meet their needs.
In addition to the benefits mentioned above, members will find easy access to our current member benefits including the state Licensing Database, Technical Updates, e-Newsletters, SBCA staff contact information, Online Training and Certification programs via the OMM.
As all of the SBCA programs are designed for the benefit of our members, we need to know what else we need to offer. Therefore as part of OMM we have created a Member Feedback Form. The feedback information will be emailed to SBCA staff & a copy of the request will be saved in an online database. SBCA staff will update the online database with comments which will stay on record for the member to review at a latter stage. We will in turn work with our various working groups and board of directors to continue to improve the SBCA and make it the premier organization for the satellite industry.
Sincerely,
Joseph Widoff
