In subsequent years, a design team, made up largely of NBMBAA members and educators from the Boston Chapter, developed a unique series of workshops to help young people at risk of underperforming to realize their full potential. In 2016, the Boston Chapter is celebrating its 25th Anniversary of founding LOT.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1749877126918{margin-top: 20px !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Vision<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]To become a premier MBA chapter, leading, developing, and supporting diverse professionals, entrepreneurs, corporate partners, and youth leaders within our community.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; gap=&#8221;30&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1749783067235{margin-top: 30px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1749783083434{padding-top: 6% !important;padding-right: 6% !important;padding-bottom: 6% !important;padding-left: 6% !important;background-color: #FAF1EC !important;border-radius: 15px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4>Sharhea Wade<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1749877048638{margin-bottom: 20px !important;}&#8221;]Boston Chapter President<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:boston.chapter@nbmbaa.org\">boston.chapter@nbmbaa.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Call: <a href=\"tel:6175044485\">(617) 504-4485<\/a><br \/>\nPO Box 190686, Boston, MA 02119<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.bostonblackmba.org\/\">www.bostonblackmba.org<\/a>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"socials socials-list socials-colored-hover socials-rounded socials-alignment-left\"><a class=\"socials-item\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/NBMBAABoston\" style=\"color: #F79220;\"><i class=\"socials-item-icon facebook\" style=\"font-size: 50px\"><\/i><\/a><a class=\"socials-item\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/nbmbaaboston\" style=\"color: #F79220;\"><i class=\"socials-item-icon twitter\" style=\"font-size: 50px\"><\/i><\/a><a class=\"socials-item\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/groups\/94598\/profile\" style=\"color: #F79220;\"><i class=\"socials-item-icon linkedin\" style=\"font-size: 50px\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>[vc_btn title=&#8221;Become a Member&#8221; style=&#8221;classic&#8221; shape=&#8221;round&#8221; color=&#8221;warning&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1749783467286{margin-top: 40px !important;}&#8221; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fnzotestserver.com%2Fnbmbaa%2Fmembership%2F|title:Membership&#8221;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1749413930014{border-radius: 15px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>Chapter Honors &amp; Awards<\/h3>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]Career Development Programs[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row_content&#8221; equal_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; background_position_desktop=&#8221;right center&#8221; background_style_tablet=&#8221;no-repeat&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1749361482870{background: #FCF1EB url(https:\/\/nzotestserver.com\/nbmbaa\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/nbmbaa-bkg-pattern6.png?id=3870) !important;background-position: 0 0 !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1749780486349{padding-top: 6% !important;padding-bottom: 7%&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":13791,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-14832","page","type-page","status-publish"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nzotestserver.com\/nbmbaa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/14832","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nzotestserver.com\/nbmbaa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nzotestserver.com\/nbmbaa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nzotestserver.com\/nbmbaa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nzotestserver.com\/nbmbaa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=14832"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/nzotestserver.com\/nbmbaa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/14832\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":14834,"href":"https:\/\/nzotestserver.com\/nbmbaa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/14832\/revisions\/14834"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nzotestserver.com\/nbmbaa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/13791"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nzotestserver.com\/nbmbaa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=14832"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
