The Smith Business Academy means a community of excellence. Our motto is Men of Distinction, and it’s because members create the mold that makes being distinguished our ultimate goal. That’s why I love being President of this organization.

🌟MEMBER HIGHLIGHT🌟

Carter Griffin, SBA advisor, explains how SBA has propelled his professional journey:

“SBA not only gave me skills that would allow me to excel in the workplace, but showed me that hard work and being “scrappy” always prevail”.

“Change will not come if we wait for some other person, or if we wait for some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek”.

The Smith Business Academy (SBA) - creating men of distinction one day at a time. This initiative was formed to foster a space for minority men to develop in all facets of life. SBA grew to become the brotherhood it is today. Here is our journey of becoming Men of Distinction.
