Brief History
In December 1969, a group of African-American accountants wanted to
establish an organization to address the concerns of minorities entering
the accounting profession and to make a commitment to professional and
academic excellence. The group met and was determined to "make a
difference" and make an impact in the accounting profession. In 1970,
National Association of Black Accountants, Inc. (NABA) chartered its first
professional chapter, located in
New
York City. From these humble beginnings, NABA has become a nationwide
membership organization representing over 100,000 members.
The Rutgers University-Newark Chapter of
NABA was founded in 1992. Since our inception, the RU-Newark
chapter of NABA has always been committed to serving the needs of all
students of color on the
Newark campus. The RU-Newark chapter of NABA is always recruiting new
students, but this year our recruitment efforts are targeted to directly
attract more students from all academic majors, ethnic backgrounds,
cultures, and religions. Our Public Relations Committee has been
distributing flyers on campus to students inside and outside of
classroom. NABA is not only an organization that is committed to
diversity, but is also dedicated to addressing the many needs of our
students.
Mission
NABA’s purpose is to address the professional and
educational needs of its members, by providing avenues for member growth
and development in the fields of Accounting, Finance, Marketing,
Economics, IT, and general Management professions.
