International Membership

Nearly 20% of NSBE members reside outside of the U.S. and Canada. That number has been growing each year, because NSBE’s mission is truly global. Global engineering talent is vital to our society, and NSBE is leading the way with development of a pipeline to diversify and maximize that talent. Join us to become a part of NSBE’s movement.
