About Us
– National BDPA (NBDPA), formerly known as Black Data Processing Associates, is a global CS-STEM
(Computer Science | Science/Technology/Engineering/Mathematics) non-profit organization serving the
professional well-being of its stakeholders. Founded in 1975, NBDPA’s founders’ concern, which
subsequently was shared with industry, was very few minorities in middle and upper management, low
recruitment and poor preparation of minorities for emerging technical positions. Moreover, an overall lack of
upward career mobility and little or no community outreach from industry continued to perpetuate these
concerns well towards the end of our last century.
– For 35 years NBDPA and local BDPA Chapters help advance technical careers from the classroom to the
boardroom by hosting and participating in a wide variety of community oriented CS-STEM programs,
workshops, expos, conferences, and STEM outreach events.
– BDPA-DC was founded in 1978 and incorporated in 1981 as an IRS 501(c)(3) public charity. BDPA-DC
encourages expansion of technology and science programs, corporate outreach, and service delivery to
underserved and unserved communities within the NCR. Toward this end, our chapter encourages support
of Chapter Interest Groups (CIGs) which are designed to meet or exceed service delivery requirements
where growing technology trends and demographics ultimately can support sustainable, viable and vibrant
BDPA Chapter Committees and Integrated CS-STEM Project Teams (ICPTs).
– Washington, D.C. (BDPA-DC) and Northern Virginia (BDPA NoVA) chapters of BDPA remain committed to
excellence while providing a wide spectrum of resources to members, corporate sponsors, small business
owners, educational institutions and local communities in the National Capital Region (NCR).
– Through online and print media, NBDPA and local chapters continue to work with industry partners and
stakeholders to inform its members of new technologies, career and internship opportunities, and technical
advances in every industry sector across all STEM disciplines.
