About
The National Black MBA Association® (NBMBAA) was
founded in 1970 at a two-day conference held at the
University of Chicago, by a group of African American
MBA students, faculty, advisors, and businessmen.
The purposes of the Association are:
The encouragement of career independence for
African American business professionals;
The promotion of African American intellectual and
economic wealth and empowerment, and;
The professional advancement of African American
business professionals.
Comprised of African American and minority business
professionals from across the world, the Association
is a business force boasting U.S. and international
members and corporate partners. The Association
has awarded over $5 million dollars in scholarships to
minority students participating in both
undergraduate and graduate programs around the
world. Today, the membership is over 9,000 and the
Association has expanded its outreach to include 46
chapters and 28 collegiate chapters.
At the NBMBAA®, empowering professionals through
strategic business forces is fundamental to our
character and the way we represent our members.
We have created numerous ways for our members to
contribute to our commitment of fostering
intellectual and economic wealth for the
communities in which we empower, work, and serve.
Take some time to peruse our website to learn about
all of the fascinating programs that we have to offer.
The Association of MBAs (AMBA) is the international
impartial authority on postgraduate business
education, established in 1967 by a small group of
business graduates with the aim to raise the profile
of business education and the MBA qualification in
UK and Europe.
Established in 2011, the National Association of Asian
MBAs (NAAMBA), Ascend’s national nonprofit
organization for MBA professionals and students,
provides Competent, Committed, Competitive, and

whom you knew yourself, in today's digital age,
anyone may perceive you through what they may
learn of you on the Internet.

their education experience at CSUSB. Our university
