What Nat'l Association of Black Compliance & Risk Management Professionals, Inc. (NABCRMP) does

NABCRMP (National Association of Black Compliance & Risk Management Professionals, Inc.) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit professional association founded in 2019 and headquartered in Miami, Florida, with an operational office in North Lauderdale. The organization serves Black professionals working in compliance and risk management roles across more than 30 industries, with membership spanning 37 U.S. states and four countries and a total base of approximately 550 members supported by a small team of 8 employees. Founder and CEO Jennifer D. Newton leads the organization, with Reginald Parker serving as Board Chair.

The association's core offerings are organized around a tiered membership model: Student ($50), Young Professional ($100), Educational ($125), General ($150), Associate ($1,075), and Corporate tiers ranging from $1,250 to $5,000. Revenue is generated through membership dues, corporate sponsorships, a job board, advertising, donations, and event fees. NABCRMP operates no proprietary technology stack, instead relying on third-party SaaS platforms including GlueUp for membership management, QuestionPro for surveys, JotForm for forms, PayPal for payments, and its CoachLoop mentorship platform launched in 2020. Event programming has drawn as many as 2,780 attendees, and in 2026 the organization launched the SBP GRC Survey as an industry research product.

Strategic corporate partnerships anchor NABCRMP's revenue and credibility, with named partners including Visa, Fidelity, Akin Gump, ACAMS, Fordham Law, the National Association of Securities Professionals (NASP), and QuestionPro. These relationships support sponsorship revenue, member programming, and event participation. The organization is positioned as a community and pipeline builder for Black compliance and risk professionals rather than a technology or consulting vendor.

Direct peers

• Association of Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialists (ACAMS): ACAMS is the leading global membership organization for Anti-Financial Crime and BSA/AML professionals and NABCRMP's strategic partner. Both organizations serve compliance professionals with memberships, training, events, and certifications, and compete for the same corporate AFC budgets.
• National Bar Association (NBA): The NBA is the nation's oldest and largest national network of Black attorneys, with conventions, sections, and corporate partnerships. Many compliance professionals are lawyers, so the NBA is a directly comparable affinity-based association competing for the same member and sponsor mindshare.
• National Black MBA Association (NBMBAA): NBMBAA is a Black-affinity professional association with a similar playbook: conferences, scholarships, mentorship, corporate partnerships, and student programs. It serves a broader business audience but its operational model, chapter structure, and corporate-revenue motion closely parallel NABCRMP.
• Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics (SCCE): SCCE is a global membership association serving compliance and ethics professionals across industries, with events, certification (CCEP), and educational programs. NABCRMP serves the same compliance professional persona but with a DEI focus, making SCCE the closest functionally comparable incumbent.
• National Association of Black Accountants (NABA): NABA is the most directly comparable peer: a longstanding Black-affinity professional association for accountants and finance professionals, with chapters, scholarships, mentorships, and corporate partnerships. NABCRMP mirrors NABA's mission model in the GRC sub-vertical, making NABA the closest strategic analogue.
• Open Compliance and Ethics Group (OCEG): OCEG is a global GRC membership organization offering the GRC Professional (GRCP) certification, research, and community. It is functionally comparable to NABCRMP at the GRC content level, differing in demographic focus and scale.
• National Association of Insurance Professionals (NAIIP): NAIIP is a membership association for insurance professionals, with chapters, scholarships, and corporate engagement. Insurance is a heavily regulated GRC-adjacent industry, and NAIIP is a directly comparable model for serving a defined professional vertical within risk and compliance.
• National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE): NSBE is a Black-affinity professional association with a national convention, corporate partnerships, scholarships, and student programming. NSBE operates at significantly larger scale but runs the same formula of pipeline development, events, and corporate sponsor engagement that NABCRMP applies to GRC.
• National Association of Safety Professionals (NASP): NASP is a NABCRMP partner that co-developed the NABCRMP Workplace Safety Scholarship. As a membership-driven safety and risk training organization with certifications, NASP is a directly comparable operating model in the adjacent workplace-safety and risk sub-vertical.

Broad incumbents

• International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP): IAPP is the largest global association for privacy and data protection professionals, with certifications, large annual summits, and corporate sponsorships. Privacy is adjacent to GRC, and IAPP represents the broader professional-association model NABCRMP aspires to scale within its niche.
