Dear NSBE Members,

My passion for this organization and my role serving as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE) keeps me focused on each of you every single day. As the largest Black engineering and STEM community, we continue to make impactful strides in society and industry. It is an honor to work alongside such an incredible, dynamic, and dedicated group of individuals who are committed to advancing the field of engineering and uplifting our communities.

As a thought leader and advocate for social justice, I am passionate about addressing inequality in tech spaces and creating opportunities for others. Outside of work, I enjoy playing tennis and spending quality time with my family and friends.

I look forward to collaborating with you all to further NSBE’s mission of increasing the number of culturally responsible Black engineers who excel academically, succeed professionally, and positively impact the community.

Warm regards,
Janeen Uzzell
