International Association of Black Professionals in International Affairs

Are you a black professional interested in international affairs? If you are, the International Association of Black Professionals in International Affairs may be the organization you need to join.

IABPIA is a charitable, non-profit membership association founded in 1989 to increase the involvement of African Americans and other people of African heritage in international affairs. IABPIA fulfills its objectives in education, cultural exchange and economic and professional development through public education forums and conferences, referrals, a newsletter, networking and outreach activities and the awarding of grants and scholarships. 

It is a volunteer association of men and women brought together by our professional involvement or personal interest in international affairs. The goal is to increase and enhance the involvement of the African Diaspora and other under-represented minorities in the dynamics of political, economic and cultural relations between the nations and the peoples of the world through a commitment to linking efforts to those of groups and organizations that have mutually supportive purposes and goals.
IABPIA is a public, private and non-profit sector of professionals who live and work in Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, the Caribbean and North America and works at entry, mid and senior executive levels in government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and for-profit businesses.
