History

NSHMBA was founded on March 8, 1988 by a group of Hispanic MBAs led by Henry Hernandez. Their goals was to remedy the lack of representation in the corporate world for Hispanic business leaders, and to reverse the decline of Hispanics enrolled in graduate management education programs throughout the country[4] The founding members spent the next nine months developing the concept for the organization, identifying key partners, and establishing a framework for the organization. The group was then officially launched in January, 1989[5].
