June 9th, 2014
Greetings NSBE Jr. Member!!!
It is time to select new Regional Jr. Executive Board (RJEB) members for the 2014-15 academic
school year. The current RJEB encourages everyone that is interested in holding a position to
take the leadership challenge. Along with carrying out the specified duties detailed at the bottom
of this application, In the past the Jr. Executive Board published two PCI newsletters and
organized a worskhop at both the Regional and National Conferences. Both workshops were a
success, providing a forum for fellow PCI members to discuss current events that affect African
Americans and to gain hands on experience in engineering.
Before deciding on accepting your advisor’s nomination, carefully consider the following
points. First, being a RJEB member is very serious. RJEB members must be in good standing
and remain in good standing throughout their term. In addition to giving 105% of your effort to
your school work, you also have to find time for NSBE in your schedule. If you have a busy
schedule or have to work often, I advise you to think carefully. Second, remember that you serve
the membership, which is an honor. Do not take your position lightly because each member
plays a major role in the region’s success. Finally, remember that all RJEB members MUST be
able to travel for conferences and meetings throughout their term.
In addition to these things, also consider the reward that comes from a job well done.
Leadership is both a challenging growth opportunity and a rewarding service opportunity.
Serving on the board, you will plan and implement NSBE Jr. programs at the regional level.
You will have an opportunity to see the fruits of your labor as NSBE Jr. membership increases
and members have a higher level of satisfaction. Leadership is also a value added to your
membership. You will have an opportunity to interface with collegiate leaders and technical
professionals during your term in office.
Attached, you will find a copy of an application form, a list of positions and duties, and
requirements in order to be a candidate. Please review these carefully before submitting an
application. An Application Checklist is provided for your convenience. Please have your
chapter advisor e-mail all completed applications to [email protected] and [email protected]
before Monday June 23rd, 2014 @ 5pm Central Standard Time.
Sincerely,
