50 years ago, Frank Ross, a Kittitian living in New York, sat with 8 other men in his living room on a mission to elevate blacks in the accounting profession and founded the National Association of Black Accountants (NABA). There were less than 150 black CPA’s in 1968 and now 50 years later there are over 200,000 – thanks in large part to NABA.

Last night, 50 years later, Mrs Dinichi Zenniere Bowry-Thomas was honored and humbled, as a Kittitian, to receive the National Achievement In Industry at NABA’s 50th Anniversary Awards in Las Vegas, Nevada.
