NBE is now a self-managed organization

NBE has recently transitioned to a self-managed organization after being managed by an association management company for many years. Over the last 60 days, we had temporary staff in place to assist us, which resulted in delayed responses to inquiries.

As of this week, we are fully staffed and working to respond to calls and emails.  We sincerely appreciate your patience.
