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.
Annual Membership BBQ
The Membership BBQ marks the beginning of each programming year. This family friendly event also serves as a membership drive and celebration of NSBE DC’s rich history. Over 100 NSBE DC members, area NSBE members, family and friends gather at this event every year.
A Walk for Education
A Walk for Education is a signature NSBE National Program and is part of the TORCH (Technical Outreach for Community Help) Initiative, established in 2004 to narrow the digital divide.
