NABA was founded in 1969 by nine African American accountants in the New York area. Their goal was to establish a national organization that dealt forthrightly and effectively with the many common problems faced by the growing number of African American accounting professionals. NABA’s purpose is to encourage greater participation by African Americans and other minorities in the accounting profession.
