TSIG History:As a result of the 1994 NSBE Pittsburgh National Convention, Daniel Brown, NSBE-AE 1994-1995 National Chairperson, appointed Louis Hureston to oversee the establishment of the NSBE TSIG. Although the notion of special interest groups is a recent concept within NSBE, the notion of creating networks of NSBE leaders throughout industries was formally document in 1988 in a document entitled NSBE Vision For The 1990s.Since the telecommunications SIG is a new application of this concept
in NSBE, we expect to experience learning. This puzzle can be partitioned
in three basic areas: political, economic and cultural. The political issues
of interest are those government policies that either limit parity or inspire
parity of the African American community. Similarly, economics is key because
we must be mindful of the drivers resulting from living in a capitalistic
society. Such drive might be the national strategies to balance the supply
with the demand of the workforce of the future. Finally the cultural dimensions
of concern are those barriers in the African American community that either
limit or discourage academic development, professional achievement and
economic development.
TSIG Vision:The vision for the Telecommunications SIG, is to serve as a powerful network that will ultimately influence domestic and international executive decisions in the telecommunications industry. The long-term (10 year) objectives of this network are as follows:
