Our Valentine to IBA Members

The Indiana Broadcasters Association is doing a quick member survey during February to help with our advocacy efforts in Congress and to assist us in developing services and programming that will help our membership. While specific responses will, of course, be kept confidential, we appreciate your quick opinions.
