NBMBAA 2023 Conference Guide - 69

PRICE
I'm Princeanna Price, and I've been in my current role as an Operations Manager for
Campus Recruitment and Onboarding for four years. I would say I'm early in my career
and steadily becoming a subject matter expert in my field.
I was introduced to NBMBAA® through our national Inclusion & Diversity leadership
team, and it's been a pleasure connecting with students and alums as a Black student
with a master's myself!
I think it's important to have a membership to NBMBAA® as it allows our company
to find amazing Black talent within this community and also allows us to expand our
knowledge about the type of opportunities this community is interested in.
I joined the local Atlanta chapter and had the pleasure of attending the NBMBAA®
conference and expo for the first time in September 2022. We were fortunate enough
to meet so many great students that became applicants and eventually welcomed two
students to our team at Alight. I was thrilled that I could support these colleagues from
the beginning of the recruiting process through their start date and onboarding.
I would encourage individuals to join this association because it not only allows
companies and organizations to network and build relationships with talented students
and alums over time, but it also puts you in a position to expose this community to future
opportunities and impact their career journey, which is rewarding in itself.

As a Senior Manager at Alight Solutions, I deeply appreciate the National Black MBA
Association (NBMBAA®) for its pivotal role in my journey. I'm currently in the midcareer
stage of my professional journey. I was introduced to the National Black MBA
Association (NBMBAA®) through a friend, an active member of the vibrant Atlanta
chapter. Having had such a positive experience with them, they recommended that I
explore further and join the Association.
As an engaged member of the local Atlanta chapter, I've been able to attend various
events, including their annual conference, which opened my eyes to the value that this
Association delivers. I was both a volunteer and an eager participant during the year
I attended. I saw firsthand the meticulous effort of orchestrating these conferences,
ensuring they ran seamlessly. Through volunteering, I not only contributed to the event's
success but also gained valuable insights into the inner workings of the Association.
During this experience, I built relationships that led me to my current role as Senior
Manager at Alight Solutions. It's more than just networking; it's about cultivating
relationships that enrich your journey and propel your career forward.
So, if you're wondering why you should consider becoming a member- It's where students of diverse backgrounds in
college and graduate programs find a nurturing space to explore, learn, and connect. NBMBAA® supplies the tools
and opportunities to carve your path, whether early in your career or at a mid-career pivot like me.
I would highly recommend joining NBMBAA® for anyone looking to embark on a journey of empowerment, growth, and
meaningful connections in their career path. Whether early in your career or seeking a mid-career pivot, this Association offers
invaluable tools and opportunities for students of diverse backgrounds from college and graduate programs. With NMBBA
as your compass, you'll find boundless opportunities along with inspiring personal growth experiences like mine waiting just
around the corner
