New York City Bangladesh Civil Service Society
Since 1990, the employment participation of the Bangladeshi community has been increasing in New York City Government, as well as New York State and Federal Agencies. The proven track record of those already in public service has been quite encouraging. But in comparison with other communities, participation of Bangladeshis in public service has been quite low. The absence of institutional facilities for greater interaction among fellow civil servants, lack of access to requisite information, and non-availability of various support services have been major constraining factors. Toward taking advantage of various opportunities for public service and realization of its various potentials for a greater understanding and interaction between the Bangladeshi community and American society at large – the need for an organization in this direction has long been felt.
To fulfill that desire, a small group of New York City Bangladeshi employees initiated and conducted a series of meetings months after months to create a unique organization with a vision, mission, and goals to serve the Bangladeshi community as well as its members on employment opportunities and available government benefits. The name of the organization was selected as “New York City Bangladeshi Civil Service Society (NBCS).” It is a professional, not-for-profit, non-political, and registered organization with New York State. The membership requirements are – have to be a Bangladeshi and currently have employment or retired from employment with New York City Government, New York State, or Federal Government.
