Top 40 African-American focused groups on LinkedIn

Here are all of the African-American focused groups I could find on LinkedIn with 50 members or more as of 8/4/08. There are two interesting notes here. First, you will see that there are two and even three groups representing the same entity in some cases. I have included the name of the group leader in parentheses, so you can distinguish between the groups. Second, there are many prominent African-American organizations that do not have groups or have very small ones. For example, the 100 Black Men only four that I could find LinkedIn groups, all with less than 10 members.

If you have an interest in any of these groups, please seek to them. Joining these groups will strengthen them as well as extend your own personal reach. Please let me know if you know of any African-American focused groups on LinkedIn with more than 50 members that I have omitted. Also, if you belong to an organization which should have a group but does not, be the one to start one! In order to help each other, we have to find each other. I hope you will use this list to find other Success Minded African Americans.

Also, please forward the link to this list to everyone in your network. We are a stronger people in larger numbers!
