BDPA Twin Cities
BDPA Twin Cities was founded in 1989. The group sponsors local networking events as well as IS related workshops. They enjoy the support of the local corporate community. BDPA Twin Cities meets every 3rd Wednesday of the month. The meetings include an educational program as well as opportunities to network and learn from other professionals interested in IS.

Our goals are as ambitious as our members are.
BDPA’s primary objective is to accumulate a pool of information technology knowledge and business expertise in order to:

• Support the interest of those exploring the IT field as a career or business opportunity.
  
  
• Provide a forum for the development of minority skills and interests within the IT industry.
  
  
• Enhance awareness of the IT industry within the minority community

How you can benefit
BDPA-TWIN CITIES CHAPTER cultivates opportunities to ensure the technical and professional development of its members in the information technology field. The organization’s main purpose is to be a positive influence on the industry's direction, to encourage the exploration of information technology as a career option, and to facilitate the advancement of information science knowledge throughout the community.

How you can help
However, educational technical opportunities still reach the African American and other minority communities at a slow pace. Recognizing the need for accelerated action, BDPA-TWIN CITIES CHAPTER provides educational, technical, and training projects to the community and its members. BDPA-TWIN CITIES CHAPTER perceives itself as a catalyst for social change. As such, the association realizes that it is increasingly necessary to invest a greater portion of time and efforts in the under privileged communities of this information-age society. This is where you the BDPA membership come in.
