50 Years of Impact

In December 1969, nine African-Americans met in New York City to discuss the unique challenges and limited opportunities they faced in the accounting profession. In that year, there were only 136 African-American Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) out of a total of 100,000 in the United States.

Our NABA Founders sought to establish an organization to address the concerns of minorities entering the accounting profession and to make a commitment to professional and academic excellence.

New NABA CPAs

We would like to recognize:

Krystal Gilbert, New York Chapter

Shari-Ann Myers, Tampa Chapter

In Memoriam

Many of the opportunities and successes for black professionals in the accounting profession today were paved by NABA trailblazers who are no longer with us. We honor those legacy trailblazers and difference makers, not just for what they have done for the NABA community, but for black professionals and the profession at large.
