Meet the Greater Maryland Chapter (MDBMBA)
The Greater Maryland Chapter was founded in 2020 by a small team of long-term NBMBAA® members who recognized an untapped need for Black professionals and businesses in Maryland. COVID-19 and other events in 2020 underscored the absence of resources for this community.
Through programming and structured activities, the MDBMBA supports the educational, economic, and career advancement opportunities for Black students, entrepreneurs, and professionals in Maryland. Our values are based upon the principles of the National Black MBA Association: Integrity, Diversity and Inclusion, Economic Empowerment, Education, Excellence, and Service. The MDBMBA team understands that commitment to these ideals has been and will continue to be the cornerstone for this chapter's success.
