Dear students,<br>
<br>
I trust that it is a busy but exciting time as the summer draws to a close. Just as classes are starting back up, our NABS Committees are also preparing to hit the ground running this August. I am writing to announce this year’s focus areas and the fabulous
leaders who will be guiding their progress.<br>
You will notice that our lineup looks a little different from this past year, in that we have two seemingly new committees. I can assure you that our beloved Outreach and DEI committees are not gone, but restructured to hopefully allow for even greater impact.<br>
Our committees are open to all students to join. We need your thoughts, ideas, and perspectives! You are also welcome to explore and serve on multiple committees if you have the time and interest.<br>
Note: Although a quick turnaround time, we will be holding committee calls this month, starting with fundraising and content creation this Sunday.<br>
<br>
2022-23 NABS Committees<br>
Fundraising Committee <br>
