Platform
It is time to return to the basics: People, Places, and Things.
PEOPLE: If elected, I will continue to make our members the main focus. I will also expand our stakeholder group to focus on developing our leaders and assimilating our partners into the family.
PLACES: If elected, I will expand our reach to take the NSBE Professionals to spaces where we have historically not ventured.
THINGS: If elected, I will promote and expand the tools we use to reach our stakeholders, implementing a robust word-of-mouth approach that will increase our membership and partnerships.
Positions
Membership Dues Increase
Our organization has one of the lowest dues available to engineering professionals. While we understand that affordability is key, we also have to consider the growth our organization has experienced and plans to experience in the future. Increasing dues will help us to meet our current needs and expand towards 10k by 2025. With that said, we should have an increase based on in-depth analyses and trends shown in the market.
Professionals NEB Vote
NSBE has always been a student-run organization. We wear this designation with pride. We also know that the mission supports our expansion as professionals. The NSBE Professionals need a voice on the NEB to ensure that not only our needs are met but that we feel empowered to support the needs of NSBE Jr. and Collegiate members.
