President’s Message

The National Black MBA Association – Chicago Chapter

Greetings,

It is with great honor and excitement that I step into the role of President of The National Black MBA Association (NBMBAA) Chicago Chapter. As we embark on this journey together, we embrace the theme: “Elevating Together: A New Era Begins.” This theme reflects our commitment to building a stronger, more inclusive future through collaboration, innovation, and leadership.

Today, the mission of the NBMBAA is more critical than ever. In an era marked by political, economic, and social complexities, the need for a united and empowered community has never been greater. The challenges we face—racial inequities, widening wealth gaps, and systemic barriers to opportunity—require bold leadership, strategic action, and a relentless pursuit of excellence.

As one of the largest and most influential chapters in the nation, the Chicago Chapter is uniquely positioned to lead the charge. Our focus will center on three key priorities:

  1. Closing the Wealth Gap: By providing resources, mentorship, and economic opportunities, we aim to empower our members and the communities we serve to build generational wealth.
  2. Leadership Development: Through innovative programming and partnerships, we will equip Black professionals and entrepreneurs with the tools they need to excel and lead in their respective industries.
  3. Community Advocacy: Addressing critical issues such as workforce equity, access to education, and economic inclusion remains at the heart of our mission.

We understand that no progress is made in isolation. To truly elevate together, we must cultivate relationships with partners, allies, and advocates who share our vision of equity and inclusion. These partnerships are not only vital for amplifying our impact but also for creating a network of accountability and shared success.

This is a pivotal moment for our organization. Elevating Together means rising as a collective, leveraging our collective brilliance to drive sustainable change and innovation. Whether you are a long-standing member, a new professional, or an ally committed to supporting our cause, we need your voice, your energy, and your vision.

Let us seize this moment to strengthen our chapter’s foundation and lead with purpose. Together, we can transform challenges into opportunities and create a legacy of impact for generations to come. Thank you for your trust, your partnership, and your commitment to The National Black MBA Association Chicago Chapter.

 

In leadership and service,

J Israel Greene
