Engineering Achievement award for 2024
This honor is to be awarded for “outstanding contributions” to the art and/or science of radio engineering that has made a “significant impact on, or improvement in” the state of the public radio industry.
The 2024 Engineering Awards Dinner will be held Friday April 12 at 7pm at Morton’s on Flamingo Road (registration required). The recipient of the 2024 Engineering Award is Michael Beach, Vice President of Distribution at NPR. Mike’s ongoing contributions to all of public radio have been remarkable over ten years of dramatic change.
APRE is also delighted to recognize two foundational members of the organization with the Meritorious Service Award – Jobie Sprinkle of WFAE, Charlotte and Paxton Durham of WVTF, Roanoke (Ret). Active engineering professionals and former APRE board members, there are no two people more invaluable to the continued success of the PREC in their service to the Association of Public Radio Engineers.
Engineering Award Nomination Form
The Association of Public Radio Engineers presentations schedule is now set for the Public Radio Engineering Conference (PREC) to be held April 11th & 12th, 2024 with both in-person and virtual attendance options.
PREC is an educational conference. We look for technical presentations that are neither marketing, nor promoting a specific product, company, or service. The attendees are highly technical and attend the conference to find innovative ideas, solutions to problems, and educational enrichment to carry back to their stations. Our goal is to offer a variety of presentations based upon peer knowledge & experiences, manufacturer solutions, and educational papers that will benefit the public radio broadcast engineering community.
WHEN/WHERE: Las Vegas, NV at the Tuscany Suites, April 11-12, 2024.
PREC 2024 is an IN-PERSON event with an option for virtual attendance. PREC’s virtual option has been well attended and we received lots of positive feedback from attendees. In person is better, but our virtual option is a close second!
