About Us

In 1970, a group of MBA candidates at the University of Chicago met and developed the concept and objectives of the Association. Later, in 1974, the National Black MBA Association (NBMBAA) was incorporated as a nonprofit organization under the laws of the state of New York.

Membership
The NBMBAA is a nonprofit organization of minority MBAs, business professionals, business students and entrepreneurs in both private and public sectors. Members share a commitment to education and business, the two keys to the economic development of the African-American community.
