President's Message

 

I am honored to serve as President of the National Black MBA Association, Pittsburgh Chapter.  In 2011 we will continue to provide solutions to the issues that we confront in our professional careers, education, business, and communities at large.  Our mission is to increase the intellectual and economic wealth for blacks.  In addition, our vision is to “become the premiere black professional organization in the Greater Pittsburgh Region by 2012.

 In 2010, we had the best year in the history of the Chapter.  As a result, we experienced significant growth in all areas.  I’ll touch on a few highlights.  Our education initiatives resulted in successful outcomes, such as our award winning scholarship program, where we grew from $14,000 (9 students received scholarships) in 2008 to $180,000 in 2009 and $150,000 in 2010.  The last two years we provided scholarships to 35 students.  In addition, our Leaders of Tomorrow program (high school student development/ mentoring) was enhanced by providing more relevant development activities for students.  For example, a team of students from our Leaders of Tomorrow program competed in the National Case Competition in South Florida and attended our National Conference in Los Angeles, California.  I’m also proud to report that our membership grew from 133 to 228 from 2009 to 2010, which positioned us as the #9 chapter in the Association out of 44 chapters and #1 in the state of Pennsylvania.  We also experienced tremendous growth in our partnerships and sponsorships, which enabled the chapter to have the resources to provide more relevant programming and opportunities.

 In 2011, the leadership team is ready to make the chapter even better, by leveraging our past successes and creating tremendous opportunities for our members, partners, business professionals, and the Greater Pittsburgh Region.  The Chapter will continue to gain strength through increasing membership, partnerships, relevant programs and activities that result in intellectual and economic wealth for blacks. We will continue to collaborate with our partners and other businesses to provide access to talent, business opportunities, professional development, and other initiatives.   

I ask each constituent for continued support.  It will take teamwork and collaboration to make our chapter great and fulfill our mission and vision.  Together we can!

Sincerely,


Kevin W. Cameron
