About Us
The National Black MBA Association, Inc., is a non-profit
organization of minority MBAs, business professionals, entrepreneurs
and MBA students. With close to 8,000 members working in both
private and public sectors throughout the country, we share a
commitment to education and business--the two principal keys to the
economic development of the African-American community. In
2009, The National Black MBA Association, Pittsburgh is
celebrating its 25-year anniversary.
The chapter had a good 2008 and we will continue to
build on those successes to fulfill our vision to “become
the premiere black professional organization in the Greater
Pittsburgh Region by 2012.” Our
organization is needed more than ever before as a result of
the difficult economic environment and the impact it has had
on our constituents. People
and organizations are faced with issues of employment,
mortgages, credit, healthcare, education, growth, new
industries, and more. The
National Black MBA Association, Pittsburgh must be a source
for solutions. I
am honored to lead the chapter and look forward to maximizing
benefits and value to our members, partners, business
professionals, and the Greater Pittsburgh Region. The
chapter will become stronger by increasing our membership,
partnerships, implementing relevant programs and activities
that result in intellectual and economic wealth for blacks.
We
will collaborate with our partners and other businesses to
provide access to talent and business opportunities.
In addition, provide programming that can be leveraged
as retention and business tools.
Members will benefit by having access to more career
and business opportunities and access to programming for
professional development. We
will invest in our community and specifically, our youth. One program, we initiated this year is our Leaders of
Tomorrow (LOT) program. This
program provides leadership, development, career and
educational exposure for students in grades 9-12.
We will also continue to provide funding for higher
education through our scholarship programs. I ask each member and partner for support. It will take teamwork and collaboration to make our chapter great and fulfill our mission. As a result, we will enhance the black community, the Greater Pittsburgh Region, and add value to all of our constituents. I
look forward to working with each of you as we work to
implement solutions to the issues that we confront! Sincerely,
