NAEB Newsletter (November 1, 1964)

n ■N a e b NEWSLETTER NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF EDUCATIONAL BROADCASTERS VOL. 29, NO. 11 NOVEMBER, 1964 n n NAEB Begins New Billing Procedure Institutional members will note a change this winter in bills for NAEB dues and fees. The new system will eventually combine all dues and division fees into one sum and shift to a fiscal-year basis from the present calendar-year basis. NAEB-ETS (TV Division) members will soon receive bills for NAEB dues and division fees for the six-month period January 1 to July 1, 1965. Later they will be billed for the full year July 1, 1965 to July 1, 1966—thus putting them on a fiscal basis. NAEB-NER (Radio Division) and Instructional Division members will soon receive bills for the calendar year January 1 through December 31, 1965. A year from now they will be billed for only half a year—putting them also on a fiscal basis as of July 1, 1966. (This will be especially helpful to network members, who already pay network fees on a fiscal basis). As rapidly as administratively possible, the procedure will provide for each member to be billed for all services in one sum—combining TV, radio, and instructional division billings when applicable. When members request that their bill¬ ings be broken into more than one payment a year, this will be done. All questions about NAEB bills should be addressed to Harold Hill, NAEB vice president, Washington office. 16 Stations Represented at Music Meet Some 22 official registrants at the NAEB-NER music per¬ sonnel conference last month at the U. of Minnesota repre¬ sented 16 different NER stations/institutions.
