Greetings NSBE NYC Family,
It is my honor and duty to serve you humbly as the 2024-26 NSBE NYC Professionals Chapter President. Admittingly we have faced some challenges post pandemic, but this chapter is resilient and will continue to be a beacon of light in NYC for aspiring and established engineers and technical professionals. My goal is simple. To make the NSBE NYC Professionals Chapter, the premiere technical organization for Black professionals in NYC. In the heart of one of the world’s greatest cities, with access to major industries such as finance, fashion and tech, it would be insurmountable for NSBE NYC NOT to be a prolific resource for STEM and technical professionals. How do we accomplish this task? By creating and implementing initiatives that support professionals at all stages of their careers, from recent graduates to mid-level and senior professionals. In addition, by providing opportunities for growth, collaboration, and empowerment within the Black technical community by means of training, workshops, mixers, conferences and community engagement programs. As we rebuild and grow, our path is always guided by the anchor that we all know and hold true to, our mission statement “To increase the number of culturally responsible Black engineers who excel academically, succeed professionally, and positively impact the community.” NSBE NYC family, we have work to do. See you in the trenches.
Humbly,
Markell Lambright
President, NSBE NYC
