About the National Black MBA Association, Inc. Dallas/Fort Worth Chapter

Established in 1970, the National Black MBA Association, Inc. is dedicated to creating partnerships that result in creating intellectual and economic wealth in the black community.

The NBMBAA was formed as a professional organization by a group of MBA candidates at the University of Chicago. The organization was incorporated in the state of New York in 1974 as a nonprofit organization.

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 sectors. Yet all of NBMBAA’s partners have one thing in common–they are all committed to the organization’s goals and values.
