The Value of AABLI

For Individuals

AABLI offers business professionals training, guidance, and opportunities in their pursuit of board leadership.  Alumni and experienced board members can benefit from our continuing education courses, webinars, invitations to guest speakers series, and valuable networking events.

For Organizations

Many boards lack diversity and tend to elect individuals who share the same personal networks. This potentially limits opportunities to reach beyond their boundaries. AABLI helps organizations diversify and find qualified African American candidates to serve on their boards.

I consider it my personal responsibility to join a board not only to expand my network, but to enhance my personal and professional experience. AABLI is there to help me, as an alum, achieve my objectives. I have learned a great deal from the board interview process alone.
