UCLA Anderson Grads Celebrate 25 years with NSHMBA

When Maggie Peña ('85),
Richard Rey ('86),
Chris Arrangaga ('85)
and Henry Hernandez ('85) helped found the National Society of Hispanic MBAs in 1988, they didn’t expect it to last. "I was literally running the organization out of my bedroom," Peña says. "People would call my house and think we had a full staff. Nobody knew. It was a great marketing ploy."

NSHMBA’s mission is to build and advance Hispanic leadership “through graduate management education and professional development.” And, 25 years later, the group has more than 25,000 members with chapters across the country and sponsors two scholarships. It also has partnerships with more than 70 colleges and universities in the United States to support qualified Hispanic students in earning their MBA degree.

NSHMBA is currently holding its 25^th-anniversary Conference and Career Expo in San Antonio. The event runs through October 12^th.
