Who We Are
Our history
Founded off of the principles of the National Business League, founded in the 1900 by Booker T. Washington, The Fayetteville Business and Professional League was formed in 1968 by a group of African American business owners and professionals. Their major goal was to include the minority business sector in the national economic priorities, not simply for its own benefit, but for the growth and stability of the national economy as well. Just as the National Business League has been the nation’s oldest business and trade association, the Fayetteville Business and Professional league membership encompasses a broad spectrum of business enterprises ranging from international trading firms and high technology manufacturers to small retail and service-providing companies and sole proprietorships.
