Mayor Kasim Reed stated, “The National Black MBA Association has helped so many extraordinary people reach their full potential. You have also made sure that you give back, you all have shown a special ability to help those climb the ladder of opportunity with one hand up and one hand down pulling other people up along the way. The conference is a great opportunity for our hospitality and convention industry, the economic impact that you had on the city was over $15 million dollars and we thank you!”
