The Arkansas Black Mayors Association (ABMA) is a coalition of forward-thinking leaders dedicated to advancing the concerns of black mayors and communities across Arkansas. Our goal is to foster economic growth, revitalize neighborhoods, and engage in political advocacy to improve the well-being of residents in black-majority municipalities.

ABMA was founded in 1972 and is made up of black mayors from towns and cities throughout the state of Arkansas. Our association works to provide a platform for our members to share ideas, collaborate on common issues, and advocate for policies that benefit Arkansas communities. We also serve as a resource for the development of municipal leaders and the growth of black municipalities throughout the state.
