History
The National Association of
Black Accountants was founded by nine African-American accountants in
the New York area in December 1969. Their goal included establishing a
national organization that dealt directly and effectively with the
many common problems faced by the growing number of African-American
professionals in the accounting field. We pay tribute to our founders:
- Ronald Benjamin
- Earl Biggot
- Donald Bristow
|
- Kenneth Drummond
- Bertram Gibson
- Richard McNamee
|
- Frank Ross
- George Wallace
- Michael Winston
|
During the period NABA was founded, there were only 100 African
American Certified Public Accountants. Today, through the Association's efforts, as well as other interested
groups, there are now 2500 CPAs and over 100,000 African Americans participating in the field of
accounting.
