NSBE is counting on you to support our Society’s largest event. Now, for an update on some of the exciting activities that are in store for our attendees!

The Convention Planning Committee has scheduled a variety of activities designed to showcase our organization’s past contributions to science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), as well as its work in our community. Among these are: • The Commemorative Mixer • The Commemorative Exhibit • Chair’s Council Activities DriviNg our CommuNity ForwarD Since its inception, NSBE has had a striking impact on the communities of its members. That tradition continues, as this year’s Annual Convention will offer events designed to develop NSBE members as STEM students and professionals who strive to make a difference.
