It is my pleasure to welcome you to the National Black MBA Association
Cleveland NEO Chapter’s website. It is an honor to serve and lead a chapter that
has worked vigorously in the creation of economic and intellectual wealth in the
African-American community for nearly 35 years.
Our chapter has continued to thrive due to a legacy of strong members, leaders
and partners. I want to thank our past and present members, leaders and
partners for their service, support and engagement.
While we treasure and celebrate our past, we are also excited about the present
and the future. I call on our current members to take a leadership role, serve on a
committee, volunteer or attend an event. The organization needs you now!
My pledge is to continue the phenomenal work that we’ve done with our current corporate and community partners as we look for new ways to embrace, interact with and elevate the communities in which we live, work and serve.
If you are a student, small business owner or a new or accomplished professional, we want to partner with you in your quest to fulfill or sustain your goals, dreams and desires. While we proudly celebrate the role of the MBA degree in our creation, an MBA degree is not required for membership, so we invite non-MBAs to join us as well!
If you are a potential corporate partner, community agent or civic leader, let’s
have a conversation about how we could collaborate to drive success in our
community.
I sincerely thank you for visiting our website and we hope to see you in person at
one of our future events or join us soon as a new member or partner!
Sincerely,
Maurice Chevalier Clark
President National Black MBA Association Cleveland NEO Chapter
