Dear NSBE Region 3 Professionals,
It is with great pride and enthusiasm that I welcome you to a new term of purpose, partnership, and progress. As your Region 3 Professionals Chair, I am excited to lead alongside each of you as we build upon our strong legacy and chart bold paths forward — together.
This year, our work is grounded in a clear and powerful vision to Begin A.G.A.I.N. — Advancing, Growth, Access, Inclusion, and Networking for Black Engineers.
This vision reminds us that our purpose is not only to “succeed professionally” but to amplify our collective impact:

A – Advancing the presence and impact of Black engineers in STEM by promoting leadership and encouraging innovation.

G – Growth through mentorship, continuous learning, and development opportunities.

A – Access to the tools, resources, and representation we deserve to thrive.

I – Inclusion that cultivates belonging, equity, and authentic representation in every space we enter.

N – Networking to connect, collaborate, and support one another across industries and regions.

Region 3 is more than a region — it’s THE POWERHOUSE. One that champions Black excellence, fuels professional development, and uplifts our communities. Whether you’re a new member or a long-time supporter, you are a vital part of our mission and momentum.
Let’s embrace this year with purpose. Let’s Begin A.G.A.I.N. — and let’s move forward, together.

In service and solidarity,
Tiffany Borden
