What is a Memorandum 
of Understanding

Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) serve as the foundational framework for partnering with NSBE, establishing clear expectations and responsibilities. They promote alignment on goals, facilitate seamless communication, and bolster the credibility and commitment of both parties to joint initiatives and projects that drive diversity and excellence in engineering forward.

Is an NSBE MOU Right for Your Organization?

Not every partnership requires an MOU. This pathway is intended for organizations interested in long-term, collaborative initiatives that support NSBE's mission through shared expertise, resources and programming.

If your organization is looking to collaborate through education, professional development, technology, volunteer support or other strategic initiatives, an MOU may be the right fit. If your interest is primarily financial sponsorship, event participation or marketing opportunities, we encourage you to explore our other partnership options.
Other PartnershipsBegin Submission

This pathway is best if your organization:

Creates meaningful value for NSBE members.

Brings expertise, technology, volunteers, venues, or other in-kind resources.

Helps broaden NSBE’s reach, visibility, or operational capacity.

Has the potential to grow into a long-term strategic relationship.

What is the Process for a Submission

    1. Proposal Submission

    Stakeholders submit proposals outlining the objectives, scope, required resources and expected outcomes of the proposed collaboration.

    2. Strategic Alignment Assessment

    Each proposal is evaluated to ensure alignment with NSBE's strategic goals, assessing its potential impact, feasibility, risks and overall value.

    3. Identify the Right NSBE Team

    Proposals are shared with the appropriate NSBE department, leadership team or member group to gather feedback and ensure the proposed agreement reflects the needs and priorities of key stakeholders.

    4. Negotiation and Clarification

    Relevant parties refine the proposal by discussing terms, responsibilities, timelines, resources and other key details before finalizing the agreement.

    5. Final Decision

    A final decision is made based on strategic alignment, feasibility, available resources and the proposal's potential for success.
