Five MBAs employees of Ryder Corporation and Burger King
Corporation founded the South Florida Chapter in 1987. 18
members chartered the Chapter on
December 18, 1997.
One of our Charter members continues to serve on the
Executive Board today.
South Florida
is a very active chapter and meets 12 to 15 times each
year. The Chapter is known for its Networking Receptions
that bring together the membership as well as corporations
and the community. The Chapter has had only six presidents
in our history and often four of them attend chapter
events.
The chapter is known for many programs with our Scholarship and
Leaders of Tomorrow (focused on teen programs being on the
top on our list.
Since 1989, the chapter has awarded over $60,000 in scholarships
toward the study of Business Administration at both the
undergraduate and graduate levels. Scholarships have been
awarded to applicants from both the NBMBAA chapter and
the community.
Our chapter has one of the largest Leaders of Tomorrow program.
We have approximately 40 students in the program at any
one time and up to 50% of our students attend our National
Conference each year. See our programs section for more
details about our programs.
The Chapter has an annual golf tournament that supports our
Scholarship and Leaders programs.
