NATIONAL SOCIETY OF BLACK ENGINEERS | REGION V 2015 - 2016

Dear Prospective Corporate Partner,

My name is Dwayne McKinney Jr. and I am the Finance Chair for Region V of the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE). As the elected liaison between Region V and potential corporate partners, I am pleased to invite your company to partner with us in efforts to fulfill our Mission “to increase the number of culturally responsible, Black engineers who excel academically, succeed professionally, and positively impact the community". Encompassing 10 states, Region V is the largest region in NSBE and offers your company exposure to thousands of engineering students and professionals. Corporate partnerships are paramount to our ability to succeed in fulfilling our Mission each year, reinforcing the national directives of NSBE, and achieving the goals of our region. Region V is known as the “Vanguard Region” because we have always led the way in pioneering new programming and innovative methods for furthering the Mission of NSBE. We take pride in our chapters and their ability to lead by example and impact their respective communities while enriching our membership. As an organization, we look to support our chapters in hosting programs that advance our overall mission; such as A Walk for Education and the NSBE Retention Program. However, Region V’s most significant impact upon its chapters is done through programming and workshops that we host at our two signature events: Regional Leadership Conference and Fall Regional Conference. Our Corporate Partnership Packet highlights opportunities for the upcoming year that are available to your company to aid us in our efforts. We invite you to partner with us in making a positive impact on minorities in STEM related fields, while giving your company access to our deep talent pool. If you have any questions or concerns regarding event participation, sponsorship contributions, or commitments, feel free to contact me. On the behalf of Region V, I would like to thank you for your time and consideration. We look forward to working with you this year. Sincerely,

Dwayne McKinney Jr.

FALL REGIONAL CONFERENCE

November 6-8, 2015

Westin Kansas City at Crown Center

Kansas City, MO The Fall Regional Conference (FRC) is the premier event that Region V hosts for its membership. In addition to networking, this conference provides attendees with workshops, competitions, TORCH (Technical Outreach Community Help) events, and much more. The events at this conference are geared toward empowering our membership to excel academically, succeed professionally, and positively impact their respective communities. We invite you to partner with us in making our FRC a success by participating in the annual Engineering and Technical Career Fair. The Career Fair will provide each company with exposure to Region V’s best and brightest prospects with available interview booths, to aid in the process. The FRC doesn’t just cater to college students. The FRC consists of several other “mini- conferences” that include: the Pre-College Initiative Mini-Conference, Graduate School Mini-Conference, and various NSBE Professional events; culminating in a diverse conference experience that serves all demographics within our membership. We will also continue to host our International Fair in order to expose Region V membership to other nations and cultures while bringing awareness to NSBE’s International presence. Junior high school and high school students (Pre-College/NSBE Jr.) will have an excellent opportunity to learn about engineering professions and majors from current collegiate members and industry representatives via roundtable discussions, competitions, and one-on-one interactions. Collegiate members will be exposed to opportunities to improve their test taking and time management skills while getting valuable lessons in professionalism and financial management. All together this conference offers a unique and valuable experience to both our membership and to our corporate partners.
