August 2016
Sierra Chapter Asst. Training Director, Don Dyer—Comcast
If there is one thing Don Dyer has learned in his many years in our cable
industry, it’s that hard work and dedication will take you anywhere you
want to go. Don proudly supports the SCTE/ISBE and our industry with
Honor, Diligence and Infectious Enthusiasm!
February 2017
Central California Chapter President, Lisa Leaunvankham-Comcast
Builds solid relationships, dedicated to the success of the chapter, and has a
genuine commitment to the Society as well as the membership!
Lisa entered 2016 with the task of taking on her new role as SCTE/ISBE Central Cal Chapter Presi-dent. She embraced her new position with passion and desire to elevate the chapter and improve service to their membership. When all was said and done the chapter out preformed their prior year performance numbers by an increase of 68.2%. Just an outstanding job by Lisa and the en-tire Central California Chapter Board of Directors. Lisa is very proud of the chapter’s performance and give much of the credit to the support and commitment of the entire chapter board. Below are a few mentions that were expressed by members of the Board of Directors when describing Lisa and
her leadership methods. Lisa Leaunvankham
Memory Lane 2016-2017 Encore: SCTE/ISBE Region 1 “Extreme Awesomeness”
December 2016
San Diego Chapter Vice-President, Andy Norton-Charter Communications
Andy brings to the San Diego Chapter Board a genuine desire and willingness to participate in many of the chapter goals and desired outcomes. He is especially dedicated to working with the board in reserving technical session meeting rooms and food services. This year Andy eagerly en-gaged the new LMS system and personally applauded the efficiency LMS brings to technical ses-sion attendance record keeping. Additionally Andy has been the key point of contact and driving force in the accomplishment of the 2016 San Diego Chapter annual Golf Tourney as well as their first Co-Chapter Vendor Day recently hosted in San Diego on December 7, 2016. I do appreciate the work Andy as well as the entire Board of Directors has put into the success of achieving their
San Diego Chapter goals!
September 2017
Desert Chapter President, Jack Irwin-Charter Communications Jack has demonstrated a genuine dedication and commitment to supporting the mission of the SCTE-ISBE. His strong participation on the Chapter Board of Directors is evidence of this behav-ior. There has been many challenges for the Desert Chapter over the past few years. Jack has hung in there with willingness and determination to not let the chapter down. He is engaged and works with other chapters to collaborate for “the good of the many”. As an example, under the leadership of Jack Irwin a recent technical session was produced and webcast with a collaboration gesture in supporting the training needs of the San Diego Chapter. When all was said and done this partnering resulted in a total of 6 qualifying sites for training hours credit. With that the Desert and San Diego Chapter made significant progress towards their compliance requirement for mini-mum technical training hours necessary for 2017. Prior to his recent election to Chapter President Jack tackled the Chapter Secretary duties with full vigor and paved the way for several chapter
compliance achievements.

The following whistleblower policy applies to all staff and volunteers of the society and can be found in the
Policies and Procedures of the Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers.
This Whistleblower Policy of the Society of Cable Telecommunications Engineers (SCTE): (1) encourages
staff and volunteers to come forward with credible information on illegal practices or serious violations of
adopted policies of SCTE; (2) specifies that SCTE will protect the person from retaliation; and (3) identifies
where such information can be reported.
Encouragement of reporting. SCTE encourages complaints, reports or inquiries about illegal practices
or serious violations of SCTE’s policies, including illegal or improper conduct by SCTE itself, by its leader-
ship, or by others on its behalf. Appropriate subjects to raise under this policy would include financial im-
proprieties, accounting or audit matters, ethical violations, or other similar illegal or improper practices or
policies. Other subjects on which SCTE has existing complaint mechanisms should be addressed under
those mechanisms, such as raising matters of alleged discrimination or harassment via SCTE’s human re-
sources channels, unless those channels are themselves implicated in the wrongdoing. This policy is not
intended to provide a means of appeal from outcomes in those other mechanisms.
Protection from retaliation. SCTE prohibits retaliation by or on behalf of SCTE against staff or volun-
teers for making good faith complaints, reports or inquiries under this policy or for participating in a review
or investigation under this policy. This protection extends to those whose allegations are made in good
faith. SCTE reserves the right to discipline persons who make bad faith, knowingly false, or vexatious com-
plaints, reports or inquiries or who otherwise abuse this policy. The right of the whistleblower protection
does not include immunity for any personal wrongdoing that is alleged and investigated.
Where to report. Complaints, reports or inquiries may be made under this policy on a confidential or
anonymous basis. They should describe in detail the specific facts demonstrating the bases for the com-
plaints, reports or inquiries. They should be directed to SCTE’s Chief Executive Officer or Chairman of the
Board of Directors; if both of those persons are implicated in the complaint, report or inquiry, it should be
directed to the Vice President of Finance and Administration who will immediately notify outside counsel.
SCTE will conduct a prompt, discreet, and objective review or investigation. Staff or volunteers must recog-
nize that SCTE may be unable to fully evaluate a vague or general complaint, report or inquiry that is made
anonymously.
Treasurer’s perspective… “Did you know?” Insuring your chapter board is following financial requirements*

A Delightful Potpourri of Essential Information
Bank Notices - If your chapter receives a notice from the bank requiring action, please send it to head-quarters immediately. Failure to take prompt action may result in your account and funds being frozen. As always, be alert to electronic requests for money and payments. Scammers are continually targeting volun-teer organizations so be sure to confirm all requests via phone or new email.
Updated Chapter Logo Guidelines - In response to feedback from chapters, we have created a template chapters may choose to use to create an updated chapter logo template with the new SCTE•ISBE brand-ing. If your chapter would like to customize this artwork, email Jessica for the design files. Chapters still have the option to use the original guidelines released earlier this year.
Energy 2020 Update - The Energy 2020 Program has continued to expand with the chapter Energy 2020 liaisons. Quarterly update calls provide the latest results from the Energy Management Subcommittee as well as general program updates. Energy 2020 chapter liaisons have delivered regional updates on ener-gy activities and have been valuable channels to cross-share activities by specific chapters like the Alaska Chapter. Remember, chapters earn 10 matrix points for each Energy 2020 liaison (up to 2). Contact Jessica to be added.
Get LinkedIn! - Join the new LinkedIn Group just for chapter leaders. Share ideas with fellow leaders and get timely information from headquarters. This is a private group and you will need to have a LinkedIn ac-count to request membership.
2018 Planning - With only a few months left in 2017, many chapters are turning their attention to 2018 planning. As you form your nominating committee, keep in mind term limits for presidents and vice presi-dent may be up at the end of this year which will impact your chapter's election. Several chapters have al-ready claimed their 2018 Vendor Day dates, so be sure to check the SCTE•ISBE events calendar and email [email protected] before signing contracts.
Chapter Spotlight - The South and Central Americas Chapter recently held its first online forum on HFC Network Design Considerations. More than 260 people participated from Bolivia, Argentina, Panama and San Salvador and more. Forum panelists included representatives from Alpha, Arris, COTAS, Liberty, Ca-blevision and Cable Color. The chapter plans to hold similar forums in the future. If your chapter is interest-ed in offering Spanish-language webinars to your members, please let us know and we will send an invita-tion. Past sessions are archived on scte.org.
If you have any questions, please let us know.
