President's
Message
I
am honored to serve as President of the National Black MBA
Association, Pittsburgh Chapter. I have a great
leadership team that is ready to build on the successes from
2009. We will use the Chapter to create tremendous
opportunities for our members, partners, business
professionals, and the Greater Pittsburgh Region.
We
had one of the best years in Chapter history in 2009.
We celebrated our 25th year anniversary, provided $180,000 in
scholarships for higher education, increased from 74 members
to 133, enhanced our programming, reestablished our Leaders of
Tomorrow program for high school students, and expanded our
partnerships/sponsorships.
In
2010, we
will continue to build on our success as we strive to fulfill
our vision to “become the premiere black professional
organization in the Greater Pittsburgh Region by 2012."
We
will continue to provide solutions to the issues that we
confront in our communities and business.
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. We will continue to provide relevant
programming that can be leveraged as retention and business
tools. Members
will benefit by having more opportunities and access to
quality programming for professional development.
We
will continue to invest in our community and specifically, our
youth. This year, we will enhance programming for our Leaders of
Tomorrow (LOT) program. This
program provides leadership, development, career and
educational exposure for students in grades 9-12.
In addition, we will continue to increase access to
funding for higher education through our scholarship programs.
I
ask each member and partner for continued 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
am excited about the opportunities and is looking forward to
outcomes, which result in intellectual and economic wealth for
blacks.
Sincerely,
Kevin W. Cameron
President
National Black MBA Association, Pittsburgh Chapter
