The Non-Group was a largely-secretive grouping of Miami businesspeople that played a significant role in guiding Miami city affairs for decades.
History
https://miamifoundation.org/blog/a-new-power-emerges-in-greater-miami/
The group originally had approximately 38 businessmen.
By 1988, the group had 49 members, but remained mostly Anglo and male. It had only three black members and only two female members. Around the same time, it saw its power lessen by the late-1980s when other organizations centered upon Hispanic leadership began to wield influence, such as the Latin Builders Association and the Cuban American National Foundation. The appearance of sex and racial exclusion this created, which defenders argued was not by intent of the group itself but rather a mere consequence of overall power dynamics in Miami, had by the late-1980s harmed its ability to build coalitions with the increasingly influential Hispanic population in the city.[1]
