Leadership Development
General Members – Pool of Leader Candidates
The NSBE Professionals has served as a leadership incubator for over thirty years. Members are given the opportunity to serve at various levels in numerous functions within the organization. In addition to experiential training, members are able to increase their content knowledge in the area of non-profit leadership. The NSBE Professionals have a strong history of positively impacting the community through the promotion of STEM Careers to black students. Much of the member experiences center on working with the NSBE Jr. and Collegiate demographics to support activities, programs and initiatives. In addition, less formal but laborious activities occur within the SIGs but are limited due to financial and personnel bandwidth.
• Raise member awareness of non-profit board service and its application in career development and other non-profit board service opportunities • Formalize the structure for leadership training that includes tracking of topics and hours (transcript) to foster validated recognition of leadership skills by external organizations/stakeholders • Refine Special Interest Group structure to support community problem solving and involvement. • Improve/align community service activities at the National, Regional and Chapter levels. • Explore with Special Interest Groups (SIG) leadership new, dierent and more dynamic roles in NSBE Professional members’ career, professional and leadership skills development. • Explore/evaluate how the organization supports (financially and manpower) the SIGs based on their community service workload. • Explore the feasibility and perhaps design new pathways for greater participation of NSBE Jr. and Collegiate members into the SIG model community-wide with focused access in highly requested SIG areas (i.e. simple opportunities of NSBE Jr. and Collegiate member to join already occuring SIG programming - live and virtually - to other new possibilities). • Improve/align community service activities at the National, Regional and Chapter level
