Dear Corporate Partners:
Region II of the National Society of Black Engineers is excited to invite you to partner with
us as we strive to fulfill the NSBE Mission. This year, our regional directives will serve our membership by enhancing & sustaining academic excellence, incorporating technical success through passive

our corporate partners.
Region II boasts 2,150 collegiate members, 1,028 NSBE Jr. (pre-college) members, and about 50 lifetime members.
In addition, our alumni technical professional membership has grown to include 1,000 professional members. Our
