Dear Friends, Welcome to the website of the National Society of Black Engineers Alumni Extension Silicon Valley Chapter(NSBE-AE-SVC). This is an exciting time to be a member of NSBE in the Silicon Valley. We hope you find the information in this site useful. After the economic downturn in early 2000 the chapter was dissolved. Many of the executive board members were forced to find work outside of the Silicon Valley. Since June of 2006 the board has been working to bring the chapter back to life and once again be a force in the community. We have already achieved many of the goals we set at the beginning of the year including becoming a nationally recognized chapter and nonprofit organization. We have brought back many of the staple events from past years including; mixers, professional development seminars, mentoring k-college, and the Unity Banquet. We have also participated in community service events such as volunteering at food banks and the Walk for Aids. Our monthly meetings regularly include discussion forums on topics relevant to our community or a technical/professional development presentation. It’s not all work though, NSBE knows how to have fun too. We have several events geared toward forming friendships and socializing with other professionals in the area. We hope that you will join us in our quest to fulfill the NSBE mission; to increase the number of culturally responsible black engineers who excel academically, succeed professionally and positively impact their communities. Together we can make Silicon Valley a great place for black professionals to live and work. Thank you for your interest and support Elvis Kibiti
