Background on PDI In January 2012, the National Forum

for Black Public Administrators – San Antonio Chapter (NFBPA-SA) launched the Professional Development Institute (PDI) in partnership with the UTSA

College of Public Policy

The PDI is designed to equip San Antonio’s emerging leaders with the requisite skills to affectively handle the rigors of executive positions in the public sector

NFBPA-SA is a very diverse group, and for that reason, the PDI workshops

include a combination of paneldiscussions, presenters, and interactive leadership activities in order to maximize the learning experience
