President's Message

The first chapter of the 100 Black Men Of America, Inc. (BMOA) was founded in 1963 and now the organization has 103 chapters throughout the United States, along with chapters in Europe, Africa and Caribbean. The mission of the 100 BMOA is to improve the quality of life within our communities and enhance educational and economic opportunities for all African Americans. As you can see it has a long and rich history of serving communities around the world. Men from all walks of life participate in the 100. Globally chapters are engaged in innovative mentoring programs that serve the unique needs in their local communities. The 100 BMOA signature programs are "Four For The Future": Mentoring the 100 Way (The Collegiate 100), Education, Health & Wellness, and Economic Development.

Chartered in 1998, the men of the Greater Huntsville Chapter are committed to providing focused, effective, and participatory leadership in communities throughout the greater Huntsville area. Relative to "Four For The Future" we believe our greatest challenge is to see beyond the problems to solution-focused possibilities. We are actively engaged in seeking out and developing strategic partnerships with other organizations, agencies, and institutions, which share our values of addressing social issues and creating a brighter future for all citizens in our community.

The Greater Huntsville Chapter of the 100 is proud of its affiliation with The 100 BMOA, an internationally recognized body of strong black men. The brothers of this chapter are blessed and pleased to lend our talents, energies, and vision in service to our community. We pledge our commitment to be active participants in the greater Huntsville community to empower our people to become self-sufficient shareholders in the economic and social fabric of the communities we serve.

I invite you to take a look at our programs as we commit ourselves to serving the Greater Huntsville community.

Earnest L. Starks
President
100 Black Men of Greater Huntsville
