This was an epic evening of superhero action at the Ark Lodge Cinemas in Seattle, WA, USA! 40+ people joined our chapter to witness the most anticipated Marvels Pre-Screening before it hit the big screen. This in-person event was a chance to support the NSBE Scholarship Fundraiser while enjoying an exclusive movie experience.

On Saturday March 18th, the chapter hosted a pre-convention coffee date at Boon Boona Coffee  for our members in the greater Seattle area. We had a great time connecting with members and ensuring we were ready to attend the 49th NSBE Annual Convention

In July 2022, the NSBE Seattle Professionals Chapter restarted with our first event being a social event at Red Lounge.   We had a great turn out to the event, and it showed us how much NSBE was needed in the Seattle area.  This event was the spark that has helped rejuvenate the chapter!

Partnering with New Jackson, Blue Origin's Black employee resource group (ERG), we hosted a networking event at Metier Brewing Company.  As always it was a great opportunity to network and connect!

Ending 2022, we hosted our White Elephant Event.  It turned out to be a snowy day in Seattle, but that did not stop us from coming together.  While we played White Elephant, we also had a chance to play a few games, and just connect around the holidays.

In January 2023, DKS helped us host our Navigating the Office "Politics" Panel.  The conversation was great focusing on how we can come together as a community to navigate poltics in the office.  We also had a chance to speak through a few member's own political experiences and share best practices.

In November of 2022, the NSBE Seattle Professionals Chapter hosted our A Walk For Education event in partnership with the NSBE Portland Professionals Chapter.  The Portland Chapter hosted the event virtually as it did the previous year, and the Seattle Chapter hosted its event in person.  Learn more information about AWFE here.

 Additionally, to close out the event, the NSBE Seattle Professionals went roller skating at Southgate Roller Rink.  It was a great day of learning and fun for all involved.
