Greetings Region V and NSBE Family,

It is with great enthusiasm and honor that I extend a warm welcome to you all as we embark on an exciting journey together. My name is Jabreel Walker, and I am privileged to serve as the Region V Professionals Executive Board Chairperson for the 2024-2025 term. I am thrilled to usher in the #NSBEGOLD year and lead our region toward new heights of excellence.

Region V, also known as The Vanguard, holds a special place within NSBE as a group of trailblazers leading the way in new developments and ideas. We pride ourselves on setting the standard for others to follow, and this year, we aim to solidify our position as the forefront of innovation and leadership within the Society.

As The Vanguard, we have achieved numerous milestones that have paved the way for progress within NSBE and as we look ahead to the year ahead, our goals are clear:

- To set a solid foundation for current and future regional professional leaders, ensuring continuity and sustainability in our efforts.
- To increase engagement with our chapters and membership, fostering a sense of community and collaboration across the region.
- To consistently bring valuable information, resources, and opportunities to our members, empowering them to excel in their professional endeavors.

Together, we will continue to push boundaries, inspire innovation, and lead the charge toward a brighter future for NSBE and beyond. I am excited to work alongside each and every one of you as we make history together in Region V.
