About Us
NABA History
Nine African-American accountants in the New York area decided that there was a need for a professional organization of minority accountants, founded NABA in December 1969. Their goal was to establish a national organization that dealt forthrightly and effectively with the many common problems faced by the growing number of African-American professionals in the world of accounting.
