Keep This 1990 article in the Boston Globe is strong evidence of notability: Diversity and growth: Black MBA group has come far since its '70 beginning. Though much is hidden behind a pay wall, the title and opening paragraph certainly indicate that it is in-depth coverage. Here are other examples of what appears to be in-depth coverage: [1], [2], [3], [4]. There are many similar examples. I see a consistent pattern of coverage by major newspapers of a period of decades. Cullen328 (talk) 15:47, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - NBMBAA is a professional society that has been around for four decades. It is a non-profit organization with numerous chapters around the United States — a google search returns page after page of links to local and regional chapter sites. This is clearly a keeper from the get-go. Article needs to be sourced out and improved, which is something that can happen through the ordinary editing process.
