APPENDIX FULL LISTING OF COMMENTS IN EACH RECURRING THEME
18 Lack connection/response via phone/email at National Level
• I live in Florida and so far no one has not contacted me at all. I feel as a member that I should be involved and so far I haven’t been. • The east bay chapter I put my son in turned out to be fraudulent and/or scam. I reached out to the president and/or director of NSBE and was not offered any help. And because of this situation I had, I’m not 100% sure if I want to put my child in any other program. • “NSBE in terms of networking is amazing. However many aspects of the organization such as conferences, conventions, chapter recognition etc. do not always represent/fully fulfill the mission of NSBE. I feel that as you look higher in the organization on the regional and national level there seems to be a disconnect or convolution in communication and support.
• Besides the broken relationship between the 3 “”governmental”” levels of NSBE, the number 1 reason I sometimes don’t recommend NSBE is because many of the steps needed to become a national member are cumbersome and abysmal, and those issues (poor website, poor GPA verification process, unresponsive WHQ/REB) is what I feel contributes to lack of participation as a whole. • In all in my 4 years of being a NSBE member, it seems as though the organization has grown (and is continuing to grow) too quickly, and the technological and constitutional issues NSEBE faces support these claims.”
