Established in 1970, the National Black MBA Association is dedicated to creating partnerships that result in creating intellectual and economic wealth in the black community. The NBMBAA was formed as a professional organization by a group of MBA candidates at the University of Chicago. The Organization was incorporated in the state of New York in 1974 as a non-profit organization. In partnership with over 400 of the country's top business organizations, the association has inroads into a wide range of industries as well as the public and private sector. Yet all of NBMBAA's partners have one thing in common – they are all committed to the organization's goals and values.

The National Black MBA Association has more than 6,000 members and represents more than 95,000 MBA graduates and operates around three cornerstones:

• EDUCATION
• EMPLOYMENT
• LEADERSHIP

Since 1970, the organization has continued to improve on its operations in order to achieve these goals. Much of the achievement has been made through the organization's partnership with corporate citizens throughout the nation. The organization is comprised of a variety of affiliated chapters in almost every major city.

The NBMBAA currently encompasses 39 U.S. Chapters and a presence in the United Kingdom. For more information, please visit the National website at www.nbmbaa.org.
