The National Black MBA Association (NBMBAA) was founded nationally in 1970 by Mr. Gary Morton, whose bold vision was to strengthen the professional, educational, and economic pipeline for Black men and women in business. Since its inception, the organization has remained committed to advancing leadership, equity, and economic mobility.
As one of the longest-standing chapters in the country, the Boston Chapter has played a critical role in extending this national legacy at the local level. For decades, the chapter has served as a trusted hub for students, emerging professionals, executives, and entrepreneurs seeking mentorship, meaningful connections, and clear pathways to leadership within Boston’s dynamic business ecosystem.
Through strategic partnerships with Fortune 1000 corporations across industries such as Financial Services, Information Technology, Healthcare, Marketing, Law, and Engineering—as well as with colleges and universities, community organizations, and government agencies—the Boston Chapter has consistently delivered impactful programs that elevate careers, expand leadership representation, and promote generational wealth-building.
The resurgence of the Boston Chapter is focused on reestablishing its strong foundation of partnerships, strengthening relationships with key stakeholders, and creating expanded opportunities for the diverse population of students and professionals we serve.
As we lead this renewed effort, our strategic priorities include:
- Up-skilling programs (including MasterClass, AI, and Google certifications)
- Increased member engagement across Greater Boston and beyond
- Executive mentorship and leadership development
- Leaders of Tomorrow (LOT) High School Mentoring Initiative
- Networking and social engagement experiences
