Members participated in a survey about the strengths, weaknesses and opportunities for NASBA. Discussion at the meeting added to the survey input and follows below.
“Advocate-educate-market” summarizes what the members believe NASBA should be. The members want information that helps them anticipate problems, be proactive and provide the best support possible to local stations. NASBA works as a facilitator, alliance or confederation. NASBA should offer a “buffet line” or menu of information/services to the members that respond to their needs. Examples include: ABIP, DTV Conversion, (which has raised the respect of state association), potential sales tax, and emergency technologies.
