Welcome message from the
Convention Planning Committee Chairperson
Greetings,
On behalf of the National Society of Black Engineers, I would like to extend to you an invitation to the 38th Annual Convention. This year’s convention will be held at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. - Region II from March 28th – April 1st, 2012.
This year’s theme is the “The NSBE Blueprint: Leadership, Teamwork, and Inspiration”. Our expectation is for all attendees to acquire the necessary skills and tools at the convention to accomplish whatever task or goal you desire. In order to achieve your goals you need at least one of the ingredients in the NSBE blueprint. First, you should be willing to be a good team player. Teamwork is necessary to accomplish any goal. In order to execute your task you need to have strong leadership abilities within yourself to accomplish it. Inspiration is probably the most important part of the blueprint. All great dreams, goals must be inspired from within in order to become a realization. However, these three ingredients together produce a well rounded NSBE participant.
Pittsburgh has been voted the most livable city by Forbes in the United States. It is home to some of the most prestigious institutions such as the University of Pittsburgh, and Carnegie Mellon. It is also renowned for its steel industry, medical fields, and robotic research.
The Convention Planning Committee is hard at work developing programs that will allow you to achieve the blueprint. We hope that all members will take advantage of everything that the convention is going to offer. Whether it is participating in the various competitions, attending the different workshops, or listening to the inspirational speakers, our goal is to make sure everyone leaves with a new sense of teamwork, leadership, and inspiration.
I am looking forward to seeing everyone in Pittsburgh.
Warm Regards,
Taylor L Mitcham
