I've read several of your posts, but now you just went ahead and hooked me with this one. Ill insight AND a NSBE head. No doubt. The conferences have been an invaluable asset in my life!

As a proud former student member of NSBE - and a former engineer career wise - I'm glad you got some much form our conference. Never made it to a national conference but the regional ones were powerful in their own right. I admire you man. Keep on packing in as much traveling and life education as you can before you hit thirty.

At that point you'll really begin to leverage it well because you'll have nearly a decade of working life, experience and connections under your belt. Then you'll be a person of influence. You're headed in the right direction young bro'. Keep doing more!

I also recommend joining professional associations and getting involved. It will put you in direct contact with people who are doing what you want to do. And don't be stingy with your time - you'll never know who you will meet when you're volunteering.

And for you future lawyers, don't miss the NBLSA Convention March 21-25 in Atlanta, GA. http://www.nblsa.org/events...

Conventions and conferences are also a great way to network and speak to professionals and peers interested in the same type of work as you.
