As one of the four original chapters, NBMBAALA was founded in 1974 by several visionary individuals, with some also being founding members of the National organization and it was incorporated under the laws of California in 1998. The Chapter has successfully hosted the National Conference four times, in 1980, 1990, 1999 and 2005, with the 1980 conference being the second ever national conference held. At the time of the 1980 conference, both the National Chairman and National President had Los Angeles Chapter ties, with several other chapter members serving at national level positions during various times of the chapter’s existence.
