Dear POW3RHOUSE Family,

I hope this message finds you well and recharged for the year ahead! As we step into this new NSBE year, I am filled with excitement and pride for what lies ahead for our region. Together, we are writing the next chapter of Region III’s legacy, one defined by impact, innovation, and unwavering commitment to our mission.

This year, our vision is MISSION POW3RHOUSE: Impact and Innovate — a call to action to build strong, lasting leadership, enhance the membership experience, and restore the energy that makes Region III a POW3RHOUSE.

We are focused on:

Impact & Legacy – Encouraging and training the next generation of leaders, increasing representation on boards, and ensuring every member understands NSBE’s value beyond the career fair.
Connectivity – Creating an engaging and inclusive environment for all demographics, supporting smaller chapters, fostering collaboration between chapters, and increasing member retention.
Innovation & Stability – Modernizing how we work, from resource repositories to technology adoption, supporting international students, NSBE Jr. programs, and preparing for the next 50 years of NSBE.

As you begin your school year, I encourage you to stay motivated, take care of yourselves, and stay engaged with your chapters. Whether this is your first semester as a NSBE member or you’ve been involved for years, you are part of a powerful community of future engineers, scientists, and innovators. Get involved in chapter events, connect with other members across the region, and know that you have a network here to support you every step of the way.

Let’s make this year unforgettable, for ourselves, for each other, and for the future of Region III.

Always R3ADY,

Shanissee Lee
Region III Chair
