and local community, and more. AEDC is

committed to the following key areas:

Growing and Maintaining Corporate

2011 – 2012 NSBE AEDC Partnership Levels

Corporate Partnership in Depth

NSBE-AEDC strongly believes in the power of partnerships and collaborative efforts and has a rich history of

working with the corporate sector. Past sponsors have included multi-national corporations, national

companies and small- to medium-sized businesses who share a common vision with AEDC to increase the

number of responsible technical professionals who give back to their communities. Your identity as a

Corporate Partner will provide you with direct access to the pool of talented engineers within the AEDC

chapter who are committed to professional excellence and technical leadership, and it will give you the

distinction of being involved with a respected leader in promoting STEM outreach within the DC metropolitan

area.

AEDC is proud that its main corporate partners continue to renew their support of our chapter programs

despite the recent economic downturn. Through strengthened sponsorship towards scholarships, Pre-

College Initiative and College Initiative activities, we have been able grow our chapter into one of the premier

NSBE alumni chapters in the country. However, we understand that sponsorship comes in many forms and

does not always have to be monetary. There are a number of non-financial needs in the areas of mentorship,

leadership and professional development that we invite you to fulfill, including the following:

Support for our mentoring initiatives by providing networking opportunities in which our mentors and

mentees can take advantage.

Developmental materials for our leadership, i.e. information on project management, communication,

teamwork, etc. AEDC invites you to assist us with professional certifications, classes or company

plant tours.

Interactive workshops for our membership outside of General Body Meetings to develop leadership

skills, career guidance, financial planning, etc.

By working together, we are able to leverage the strengths of the corporate sector and the dedication of our

chapter membership to make a small contribution towards the larger goal that President Obama describes as

―reaffirming and strengthening America’s role as the world’s engine of scientific discovery and technological

innovation‖.
