About the Madison Network of Black Professionals


The Madison Network of Black Professionals is a diverse group of individuals, interconnected by heritage, education, business, technology and social activities with the purpose of networking and sharing information of interest to African Americans in the Greater Madison area.

The Network was established in August 2004 with a group of 20 individuals who had an interest in connecting as professionals to help learn and leverage ourselves as active African Americans throughout Madison,Wisconsin. Since 2004, we have grown four times that size.  In 2014 we celebrated our tenth year at one of our First Friday signature events.

 

Mission
