Empowering HIspanic professionals in LA and OC to achieve their full educational, economic, and social potential. The Name was changed in 2016 to Prospanica.

The National Society of Hispanic MBAs (NSHMBA) commenced in 1988 with a vision to be THE premier Latino & Hispanic business organization for Hispanic business professionals. Dedicated to increasing the number of Hispanics graduating with Masters Level Degrees of any kind, Prospanica opens doors for Latino & Hispanic talent by sourcing leadership positions, securing job placement and enhancing professional development. Though Latinos & Hispanics with MBAs had been the sole focus, 2015 marks the year in which NSHMBA/Prospanica extends its reach beyond the MBA community to Undergraduate and High School-level students. Prospanica realizes by building Hispanic talent from the ground up, they are empowering Latino & Hispanic business professionals to achieve their full educational, economic and social potential. Current trends depict that Latinos & Hispanics are the largest and fastest growing minority group, having the highest drop-out rate, and are severely underrepresented in professional employment. With Latinos & Hispanics expected to account for 60 percent of the U.S. populations growth between 2005 and 2050, Prospanica knows that Latino & Hispanic success in education and the labor market is of immediate and long-term importance to the nation’s economy.
