About National Association of Black Accountants, Inc. Detroit Chapter
The Detroit Association of Professional Accountants was formed in 1969. The group recognized the need for a professional organization of minority accountants to address the problems encountered by those individuals seeking careers in public accounting, government and private industry. Currently, the Detroit Chapter has over 100 members. On June 19, 1972, the Detroit Association of Professional Accountants applied for membership in NABA. The Detroit Chapter received its charter shortly thereafter.
Today, NABA, Inc. - Detroit Chapter is one of the largest professional minority business organizations in the state of Michigan. Our primary goal is to encourage and increase the percentage of minorities to pursue academic studies and professional careers in accounting and finance. We are part of the Central Region Chapter of the NABA. The Central Region contains 14 chapters and Detroit is one of the largest chapters in the region, second to Chicago.
We offer a variety of educational and professional development programs for our student and professional members in the accounting and finance professions. From hosting CPE technical sessions and accounting awareness seminars to providing national and local scholarships to students, we team up with our corporate partners to provide our members with opportunities to develop and maintain rewarding careers in accounting and finance.
