ATLANTA (September 27, 2016) – The National Black MBA Association® (NBMBAA®)
announces its partnership with the National Society of Black Engineers
(NSBE). The strategic alliance will provide S.T.E.M. professionals with
enhanced leadership development and access to the country’s top
corporations with interest in recruiting management level professionals
with experience in science and technology disciplines.
“The number of African Americans graduating with Master’s degrees in
science and technology has increased in recent years, but still pales in
comparison to the graduation rates of other ethnicities,” said Jesse
Tyson, president & CEO, National Black MBA Association®.
“We are optimistic that this partnership will increase S.T.E.M.
engagement among African Americans in graduate programs and will help
more students and professionals in science, technology engineering, and
math achieve advanced degrees and management careers.”
The three-year partnership will provide members of both organizations
with exclusive offers that will include membership discounts,
continuing education programs, professional development, and other joint
local chapter engagement initiatives.
“Today’s job market has shifted and many executives in science and
technology fields need advanced degrees in business to secure leadership
roles at top companies,” said Karl W. Reid, Ed.D, executive director,
National Society of Black Engineers. “Our partnership with the National
Black MBA Association® will reinforce our commitment to developing and grooming our members to be able to compete globally.”
This announcement comes only weeks before the kickoff of the NBMBAA® 38TH
Annual Conference and Exposition being held in New Orleans, Oct. 11-15.
The conference theme, “The Q Factor: Quality, a Leadership Paradigm,”
highlights the importance of quality leadership and how it can be used
to inspire, disrupt and transform the business landscape. Attendees can
expect to learn more about marketing, business and leadership from the
various workshops and events offered, including the Leadership
