History

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.

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

The organization gains its strength from a strong belief in community and a commitment to its development through economic and educational development initiatives that support the global African American community.
In July 2000 the NBMBAA’s influence on the global community emerged with a shout when, in July 2000, Black MBA UK was launched.
