2010 Annual Report

2010 was a year of significant progress and accomplishment both financially and programmatically. Although final figures are subject to audit, SBCA ended the year with a surplus. Of equal importance, SBCA set records in test sales, number of members and membership income and new and expanded member benefits. It also accomplished a complete revamping of its communications efforts by launching new online publications. SBCA's advocacy work on behalf of the industry saw a significant increase in requests for assistance involving dish placement (OTARD), licensing and regulation and tax issues and launched a new interactive licensing database. Finally, SBCA held its second annual online trade show and conference, SkyFORUM, which continues to be well received. Click here for the 2010 Annual Report.
