The Metropolitan Milwaukee Alliance of Black School Educators (MMABSE) aims to enhance educational experiences and academic achievements for students, particularly those of African descent, in the metropolitan Milwaukee area. MMABSE is affiliated with the National Alliance of Black School Educators (NABSE), which addresses specific educational needs and challenges black students and educators face across the United States.
MMABSE's leadership is inclusive, consisting of an executive board responsible for managing and governing the Alliance. The board includes elected officers, the immediate past President, and chairpersons of the commissions and standing committees. Membership in the Alliance is open to all educators, parents, and community representatives interested in the education of children of African descent. Representation in MMABSE also encompasses educators from independent, private, parochial, and suburban school districts, as well as local colleges and universities. The significant endeavors of the Alliance are propelled by the voluntary participation of both members and non-members in various commissions and standing committees.
