The National Black MBA Association is a non-profit organization of Black MBA's in both private and public sectors throughout the country. Its members have the common goals of improving their professional skills and obtaining responsible positions within these sectors.

The membership is composed primarily of MBA (Masters Degree in Business Administration) graduates from various business schools and those pursuing the de.gree.

Later, in 1974 the National Black MBA Association was incorporated as a non-profit organization under the laws of New York State. Currently the organization has chapters in Atlanta, Chicago, Boston, Dallas, Detroit, Houston, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C.
