"There is an acronym I like to use to recall what I see as NSBE’s highest values and priorities: F.O.C.U.S., which stands for family, opportunity, commitment, unity and servant leadership. I am happy to say that the work so far with our Society’s student leadership has shown me that we have a firm grasp on these concepts and that we are prepared to govern, and serve, effectively, guided by NSBE’s National Directives for the year.....I believe that this year, 2020-21, is the essential year to F.O.C.U.S. our efforts and passion for NSBE, as we are poised to realize our full potential during this time, five to six years away from NSBE 2025."
