Division Day Programs Planned NAEB division activities will be concentrated on Tuesday, November 2. Individual Members will meet Tuesday morning, and division luncheons and business meetings will follow. • INDIVIDUAL MEMBER DIVISION To open this meeting, the Board of Directors of the divi¬ sion will report on actions taken on such items as member¬ ship, services to Individual Members, professional interest sec¬ tions, division financing, Placement Service, division staffing and publications. Following this report, members will be urged to express themselves on these particular issues, and on the future role of this division. Based on the response to a questionnaire to NAEB Indi¬ vidual Members, seven professional interest sections have been set up. These groups will meet Tuesday afternoon to decide the kind and extent of future activities which they wish to undertake. These sessions mark the beginning of efforts by the divi¬ sion to meet the needs of specialized interest groups. The meet¬ ings planned for this year are: engineering, graphic arts, class¬ room teaching, television teaching, research, production-direc¬ tion, and music direction. • EDUCATIONAL TELEVISION STATIONS DIVISION NAEB-ETS will have a business meeting on Tuesday, starting with a luncheon and lasting the full afternoon.
