History<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1750003052589{margin-top: 20px !important;}”]The Greater Maryland Chapter was founded in 2020 by a small team of long-term NBMBAA\u00ae members who recognized an untapped need for Black professionals and businesses in Maryland. COVID-19 and other events in 2020 underscored the absence of resources for this community.<\/p>\n

The Greater Maryland Chapter\u2019s leadership team consists of seasoned professionals and business owners, including members with experience more than 50 years of leadership experience at the national and local levels of the NBMBAA\u00ae.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” gap=”30″ css=”.vc_custom_1749783067235{margin-top: 30px !important;}”][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

Vision<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]The Greater Maryland Chapter will be the premiere Maryland-based business organization guiding Black professionals and students toward career and success. Programs and activities will primarily target mid- to late-career professionals, and complement the ongoing efforts of the NBMBAA\u00ae and local chapters nationwide. Our seasoned professionals will also help prepare tomorrow\u2019s leaders through strategic programming aimed at undergraduate and graduate students in Maryland.<\/p>\n

Through collaboration and partnership, the Greater Maryland Chapter will also serve as a resource and connection hub for Black entrepreneurs.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
