BDPA has grown into a national organization with 61 chapters chartered throughout the United States. Organization membership is open to all with expressed interest in the information industry regardless of race, sex, religious beliefs or national origin.BDPA Education and Technology FoundationThe BDPA Education and Technology Foundation is a 501(c)3 educational organization. Most BDPA local chapters carry 501(c)6 status.Since 1975, Black Data Processing Associates (BDPA) has been educating and training minority professionals working within the information technology industry. BDPA has successfully reached out to many, and has provided opportunities through networking, educational programs, monthly seminars, monthly workshops and annual conferences.Educational and technical opportunities still reach the African American community at a slow pace. BDPA has a larger task and broader range of people (especially youth) to reach. Recognizing the need for accelerated action, the BDPA Education and Technology Foundation (BDPA Foundation) was established. The BDPA Foundation is a nonprofit, tax exempt organization whose sole purpose is to fund the education and technology projects of the National Black Data Processing Associates local chapters. The BDPA Foundation is a catalyst for lasting social change. The Foundation invests in a broad range of innovative solutions for the myriad of problems and opportunities that are faced. The challenges faced by the BDPA membership and the African American community remain many and great. The Foundation realizes the need for investment of time and efforts in youth due to their lack of exposure to information technology. The BDPA Foundation has been successful in the creation of specialized programs that advance the skills needed by youth to compete in today's wave of new technology. However, financial support is needed from BDPA members, friends, supporters, corporations and the community to continue these programs:

1)Adopt-a-school, a partnership with local schools created to provide tutorial and mentor programs for students interested in information technology.

2)Computer Literacy, which introduces computer science to students who, have little or no computer literacy skills, while also developing their interpersonal skills.

3)Computer Training Centers, which provides training, mentor and career development programs to the community base promoting the need for computer literacy.

4)Computer Workshops, which offers members, youth and the community training in computer applications for career development.

5)High School Computer Competition, an intense student-training program that promotes academic competition in computer science, stimulates greater interest in information technology and introduces the "team concept" used in government and corporate industries.

6)Mentor Programs, which teams students with information technology professionals to provide career guidance.

7)Youth Mini-Conferences, which offer conferences and seminars geared towards preparing local high school students for institutions of higher education, general employment and entrepreneurial endeavors.

BDPA Education and Technology Foundation is a 501(c)3 educational organization, and gifts or contributions are tax deductible. The Chicago Chapter Black Data Processing Associates (BDPA-Chicago)BDPA-Chicago was chartered March 16, 1986. The Chicago chapter is currently the largest BDPA chapter, with over 330 members.ObjectivesnTo accumulate a pool of data processing knowledge and business experience with the intention of utilizing these resources to strengthen the expertise of minority members of the data processing community

BDPA Chicago Department ResponsibilitiesAdministrationThe Administration Department is responsible for the chapter office. This includes the telephone, voice mail, copier, mail, file cabinets, supplies, and postage meter. In addition this department coordinates office use by other members, and insures all mail is distributed.Chapter AutomationThis department maintains all chapter computer equipment. Ensures that information systems can produce management reports that will be used by the Board of Directors in making chapter related decisions.CommunicationsThe Communications department is primarily responsible for getting out The Professional. That also includes communications with advertisers, soliciting ads, coordinating vendor activities, and maintaining the annual production schedule. Communications would also assume the responsibility for maintaining the WWW Home Page, and, make sure that information regarding the chapter is disseminated through electronic as well as print media.EducationThe Education Department is responsible for community outreach programs at the grammar school and high school levels. This includes the Adopt-a-School, Adopt-a-Class, High School Computer Club and High School Computer Competition programs. This department arranges for facilities, books, equipment, instructors and other resources in support of these programs. The highlight activity for this department is the High School Computer Competition where a team of students undergoes intensive training and is sent to the National BDPA conference to compete nationally for scholarship funds.FinanceThe Finance Department was formed to concentrate on developing proposals to support chapter programs. This department is responsible for establishing and maintaining relationships with those persons involved in the administration for the funding sources. This includes both corporate marketing and foundation marketing efforts.Marketing This department handles both marketing and public relations efforts. Marketing means, in a nutshell, letting people know what BDPA-Chicago Chapter is all about, and how to join our ranks, or become involved in our programs. This department coordinates the BDPA-TV cable program, and is responsible for giving BDPA Chicago exposure in radio and print media announcing programs and activities. This department also coordinates the Bud Billiken Parade Float and the Annual Holiday Party.MembershipThe Membership Department is responsible for member recruitment, processing applications and maintaining an accurate membership database (locally and nationally). This includes collecting dues, coordinating transmittals of new/renewal members and database changes to the National BDPA office. As new members join BDPA, the Membership Department conducts new Member Orientations and makes sure that new member packages are distributed. This department also hosts presentations to employee groups recruiting new members.ProgramMonthly Program Meetings help recruit new members and help retain the current membership. For many members the Program Meeting is their primary BDPA activity. For this reason, presenters are carefully selected to offer interesting and insightful information on current issues and trends in information technology. The program department arranges for facilities and speakers and publishes and annual calendar (currently on the www.bdpa-chi.org web page). The annual new member reception and Bud Billiken Day Picnic are hosted the Program department.Professional DevelopmentThe Professional Development Department is responsible for hosting seminars, workshops and certification study groups to ensure that BDPA meets its mission of strengthening the expertise of minority members of the Information Technology Industry. For example, the Professional Development was instrumental in forming a Web Programming Study Group that allowed members to develop and utilize web page design and programming skills. This group maintains the BDPA Chicago web site. In addition to technical seminars and training, the Professional Development Department hosts career nights, resume writing and other workshops to help members develop their soft skills. Since seminars and workshops are open to the general community, this helps fulfill the BDPA Chicago mission of broadening the Information Technology knowledge of the minority community as a whole.Student DevelopmentThe primary responsibility of the Student Development Department is to manage the Summer Internship Program. This involves soliciting resumes from college students through contacts at college campuses and other affiliations. Training is also provided to teach resume writing and interviewing skills. And once students are hired, buddies and mentors are assigned to ensure the success of their assignments. Each year the student development department works with students and corporate supporters to make sure a resource pool of new entrants into the Information Technology Industry persists. This helps fulfill the BDPA Chicago mission of offering expertise to those minorities evaluating, data processing for future career/business potential.Volunteer OpportunitiesIn addition to the 10 standing departments of the BDPA Chicago Chapter, there are several committees and volunteer roles that cross department boundaries, and tend to be short term in nature. These opportunities are good for members who do not want to make the long term commitment to a department but would still like to get involved and a contribution in the spirit of volunteerism.Awards Banquet CommitteeWork with the Board of Directors and the Awards Committee to coordinate and organize a successful fund raising event. Solicit keynote speaker. Establish a theme. Arrange for venue and menu. Send out member and corporate invitations. Manage ticket sales. Engage membership and corporate supporters. Help market event.Awards CommitteeResponsible for identifying and selecting member and corporate award recipients to be recognized at the annual Awards banquet. Per chapter bylaws, this committee is managed by the Corresponding Secretary. Also helps assemble the chapter recognition package. Includes applying for awards from other organizations and facilitating additional member recognition activities (e.g. member recruitment drive awards and member of the month recognition).Chapter-Building Workshop Focus GroupEvery year the chapter-building workshop is used as a forum for members to generate ideas and enthusiasm for running a successful chapter. Focus group members help organize the brainstorming session and more importantly, follow-up on new ideas to see them implemented.Corporate ChampionsFacilitate communication between BDPA and the Corporation in order to recruit new members and solicit corporate financial support. Pass out marketing material and invitations to chapter programs and activities. Market fund raising activities (e.g. banquet tickets).

Solicit keynote speaker. Establish a theme. Arrange for the venue and the menu. Send out member and corporate invitations. Manage ticket sales. Engage students and educational institutions.Election CommitteeAs defined by chapter bylaws, this committee forms every 2 years and is comprised of 3-5 members who will oversee the election process. On rare occasions, when an officer position is prematurely vacated, this committee would oversee a special election.Every Member Canvass CommitteeThe success of the organization is directly related to how well the chapter stays in touch with its members. This committee ensures that on a periodic basis, a thorough attempt is made to get in touch with each and every member by any means necessary. It involves sending out notices, making phone calls and reconciling databases on a periodic basis. The purpose of the Every Member Canvass is to 1)Call for volunteers,

2)Cleanse membership lists

3)Ask for renewals

4)Capture e-mail addresses

5)Identify and expand key communicator role

6)Communicate upcoming events.

Key CommunicatorFacilitate open and regular communication between the chapter and its members. This is a person relied on to share the latest information on BDPA. When is the next meeting? Who is the presenter? Disseminate information, solicit feedback and make sure members stay in touch with the organization. Each key communicator is assigned 5-10 members to work with.National Conference DelegatesRepresent the chapter at the National Conference. Identify key issues, determine member direction and advocate initiatives on a National level. Delegates are selected at the May program meeting and receive a small stipend to help defray travel costs to the National BDPA Convention in August.Photo JournalistA role for a real camera bug. Take pictures and maintain photo albums and picture displays. Also includes maintaining chapter archives of pictures taken by professional photographers. Help select pictures for The Professional newsletter. Scan pictures and make them available on the BDPA Chicago web page.Processes and Procedures ManualWork on a team to document existing processes and procedures. Review and analyze process steps. Identify opportunities for improvement and suggest alternative approaches. Help train new members and board members on chapter policies and processes. For reliability and continuity, we have to have documented policies and procedures in place and trained staff ready to take over at a moments notice. We must operate in hot standby mode.Strategic Alliance LiaisonsWork with other professional associations and community organizations to build relationships, identify collaboration opportunities and share communication. This involves meetings to identify networking opportunities, exchange calendars of programs and activities, brainstorm collaborative strategies. The Coalition Holiday Party and Coalition with a Mission are related activities. A preferred vendor list would be another deliverable of this function.VideographerHelp the chapter by videotaping key events and activities. Inventory and maintain video archives of chapter meetings and BDPA TV programs. Compile video footage and produce Chapter Recognition Package video anthology. Show videos at monthly program meetings.Voicemail MonitorTranscribe voice mail messages to e-mail and forward information to Board members who take appropriate action. For general information requests, make timely callbacks and solicit clarifying information. Send out weekly status reports. Update voicemail announcement on upcoming chapter events. This job is done remotely and requires a touch tone telephone and e-mail access. Usually this job only takes 15-30 minutes of time per week.Volunteer CoordinatorIdentify resource needs, solicit volunteers and match the right person to the job. Interview chapter leadership and document job descriptions and resource requirements. Maintain a list of volunteer names and their interests. Follow-up with volunteers and department directors to make sure all needs are met. We need to cast the net far and wide, and leave no stone unturned. If there is a volunteer anywhere willing to do anything, they have to be immediately and effectively utilized. For reliability and continuity, not only do we need to have documented policies and procedures in place, but we also have to run in hot standby mode. There must be no single point of failure. Succession planning is the key, but to make this happen we must leverage all available resources. And to find these resources, we need a resourceful, motivational and persistent Volunteer Coordinator.Recent BDPA-Chicago Achievements
