Pittsburgh Chapter History
Pittsburgh Chapter was established in 1984 and has a mission of “creating economic and intellectual wealth in the African-American community.” The Chapter currently has over 300 members consisting of MBA’s, business students, entrepreneurs and other distinguished leaders in business, education, and other sectors in the community. Our vision is to “become the premiere black professional organization in the Greater Pittsburgh Region by 2012.”
It is my pleasure to serve as president of this outstanding chapter. We believe in empowering our members by providing programs that stimulate intellectual and economic growth. We are committed to building strong collaborative relationships with our partners and appreciate their ongoing support.
We provide access to business, career, networking and educational opportunities allowing you to make the connections that will assist you in achieving your goals. We believe it is important to support the community we serve by volunteering, providing scholarships, and mentoring students. Last year we awarded over $100,000 in scholarships to undergraduate and graduate students. Our membership is also thriving. Currently, we have over 350 members that are comprised of students and professionals from diverse industries ranging from accounting, technology, education, insurance, and banking & investment services.
Our goal is to continue to grow our membership, collaborate with our partners, and provide opportunities for our members. Please continue to support our initiatives and we welcome you to become involved with the National Black MBA Association®.
