Indianapolis Chapter History<\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1749997517106{margin-top: 20px !important;}”]The Indianapolis Chapter was formed in 1990 as an Interest Group. The founders of the group believed the city of Indianapolis was in need of a professional organization for African Americans. The vision was to provide the African-American professional community with advanced degrees an opportunity to come together and network as a group. The National Black MBA Association\u00ae offered such an opportunity and this group of visionaries petitioned the national organization for admittance. A few of the people involved in this effort were Claudia Stevens Maddox, Jerry Johnson, and Emmanuel \u201cMann\u201d Harris. A great debt is owed to these individuals for their foresight. Others playing a prominent role in developing the chapter were Ed Thompson, Sheila Faison, Bill Reynolds, Carolyn Johns (Christian), Darlene Sowell, and Frank Davis.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″ background_position_desktop=”right top” background_position_tablet=”right bottom” background_style_tablet=”no-repeat”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” equal_height=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1749783550858{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 40px !important;}”][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1748497323952{background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}”][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” gap=”30″][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″ css=”.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;}”][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n
