On behalf of the Region V Executive Board and Conference Planning Committee, we excitingly welcome you to the 2023 Regional Conference in New Orleans, Louisiana.

The 2023 regional conference is notable aswe approach the 50th annual NSBE convention, Engineering the CommUNITY. Our regional theme, I the Flame, We the Fire, was chosen to mark this milestone in our society and emphasizes the importance of unity.

Over the last 50 years, NSBE has impacted the lives of black and brown students pursuing an education in STEM. In many aspects, NSBE has provided a safe space for development, innovation, creativity, and lifelong community. The vision and goal of this conference are no different. As student leaders and professionals, we must execute the mission, first by recognizing the power and light within ourselves (I The Flame) and carrying that over to encourage and positively impact those around us (We the Fire).

This conference will allow us to share our experience, exchange knowledge, andcharter new endeavors as we reach both professional and personal aspirations. We have an exciting program that will allow members to extend their network, grow as leaders, and celebrate the accomplishments of those within our great region. We hope that you will have an unforgettable encounteras we converge in the great city of New Orleans.

NXP will have a booth at the career fair on Saturday, November 18th during this exciting fair. Please stop by our booth! We look forward to seeing all of your smiling faces there :)
