Special Interest Groups

NSBE Professionals SIGs are a great resource for professional development.

What are Special Interest Groups?

Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are signature programs in NSBE chartered to link the Society with technology and policy and to promote technical excellence among NSBE graduate school students and technical professional members. SIGs provide a platform on which members engage in exploring and discussing particular areas of focus and interest. 

Although each SIG differs in structure, the services they provide are theoretically the same, including (but not limited to) presenting technical workshops, developing scientific products, establishing or joining technology task forces and industry forums, providing technical responses to issues affecting our communities, and keeping NSBE members up-to-date on industry-specific and policy trends. 

For more information about NSBE Special Interest Groups, please contact the chair of Special Projects for SIG Operations and Development: Russell Marzette Jr. | rmarzette@nsbe.org

Information regarding the Open Enrollment Campaign

We open enrollment for the new membership cycle on May 1st each year which will allow members an additional 2 months to renew and receive benefits. Please note that membership subscriptions are not prorated. However, if you plan on renewing your membership mid-year to qualify for registration discounts or other benefits, that is fine. However, please be aware that renewing a membership following the Annual Convention will only grant you a subscription that lasts for only a month or less. We strongly recommend waiting until May 1st to maximize your investment.
