Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are signature programs in NSBE chartered to link NSBE with technology and policy and to promote technical excellence among NSBE graduate and technical professional members. SIGs provide a platform that engages members in exploring and discussing particular areas of focus and interest. While each SIG differs in structure, the services that they are able to provide are theoretically the same; including (but not limited to) presenting technical workshops, developing scientific products, establishing or joining technology task forces and industry forums, providing technical responses to issues that are affecting our communities, and keeping NSBE members up-to-date on industry-specific and policy trends.
