While representing the more than 25,000 alumni of the A.B. Freeman School of Business, the mission of the Tulane Association of Business Alumni is to encourage active alumni involvement in support of the school’s mission and goals. TABA strives to assemble and focus alumni resources to enhance and improve the areas of career management, development and external relations at the school.
For 40 years, TABA has hosted the annual Tulane Business Forum. This signature event - the largest half-day business conference in the Greater New Orleans area - features talks by nationally and internationally renowned business leaders. The growth and success of the Forum has allowed TABA to support Freeman through capital gifts to building projects, partnerships with the Career Management Center, social and networking events for current students, and funding for events such as the Tulane Business Model Competition.
