The MBA Standards Board is proud to introduce the MBA Professionals Association, a vibrant community designed to foster collaboration, leadership, and personal growth among MBA graduates. Our mission is to create a supportive network where MBAs can connect, learn, and thrive together. 

At the heart of our association lies a commitment to diversity and inclusivity. We believe that embracing diverse perspectives is the key to unlocking innovation and driving meaningful change in the business world. By encouraging open-mindedness and respectful dialogue, we aim to expand our understanding and find solutions to complex challenges. 

As a member of the MBA Professionals Association, you’ll have access to a wide range of benefits designed to support your professional development and enhance your network: 

1. Collaborative Forums: Engage in thought-provoking discussions with fellow MBAs through our online forums. Share your experiences, seek advice, and explore new ideas in a supportive environment. 

2. Leadership Opportunities: Take on leadership roles within the association, establish your MBA brand with Association executive positions such as C-Suite titles, director and other titles. We will keep the work light, just a few hours a month to serve in various tasks such moderating discussions, organizing events, writing articles for our newsletter or mentoring new members. We are building ways to develop your leadership skills and experience while making a positive impact on the community.  

3. Publishing Platform: Showcase your expertise and thought leadership by contributing articles to our member-driven publication. Share your insights, case studies, and best practices with a wide audience of MBA professionals. 

4. Networking Events: Connect with like-minded individuals through our regular networking events, both virtual and in-person. Build meaningful relationships, exchange ideas, and explore potential collaborations. 

5. Continuing Education: Stay at the forefront of business trends and best practices through our curated selection of webinars, workshops, and online courses. Earn continuing education credits while expanding your knowledge and skills.  

6. Job Board: Access exclusive job opportunities shared by our members and corporate partners. Discover new career paths and find your next challenge within our trusted network.

 

To ensure a positive and productive community experience, we
have established the following guiding principles:

– Embrace diverse perspectives and engage in civil debate.

– Criticize ideas, not people, and refrain from personal attacks.

– Speak from your own experience using “I” statements.

– Notice participation dynamics and seek diverse involvement.

– Consider multiple perspectives and strive for both/and thinking.

– Be mindful of the impact of your words and actions, and be open to feedback.

– Maintain confidentiality and respect others’ privacy.

As we build this unique one of kind MBA community together, we encourage all members to take an active role in shaping its future. Consider joining one of our committees, such as: 

– Events and Networking: Help organize and promote our networking events and initiatives.

– Content and Publishing: Contribute to our publication and curate educational resources for members.

– Mentorship and Career Development: Develop programs to support members’ career growth and facilitate mentorship opportunities.

– Diversity and Inclusion: Ensure that our community remains welcoming and inclusive to all members, regardless of background or experience.

By working together and leveraging our collective expertise, we can create a powerful network that benefits us all. We invite you to join the MBA Professionals Association after you have enrolled in the MBA Standards Board Certification program.

Building and participating in a professional association is one of the most important tasks in building a carreer and network for your future, and also one of the most rewarding efforts. We look forward to getting to know you better and your becoming part of a community dedicated to each other’s MBA success, and growth. 

Our MBA Certification includes a more challenging competency based and customized curriculum, and ongoing ethics and professional development education requirements. 

Plus the only USA national MBA Professional Association, a board membership requirement because we know that an MBA is not just about the knowledge gained in the classroom; it’s also about the network you build and the experiences you have in the process.

Together, we can achieve great things. Welcome aboard!
