Membership & Community Service

The key to the continued vitality of NSBE DC is its membership. Providing opportunities for our members to connect and give back is of utmost importance. Our membership spans from recent graduates to retired professionals, so the chapter provides opportunities and conducts events that connect them with each other and the broader community. Furthermore, members are encouraged to involve themselves in the community through service within NSBE DC and with other peer organizations in the area.
