nded the annual BDPA technology conference held in Washington DC last month. The focus of the conference was 'Global Strategy for the IT Professional'. The conference provided an opportunity for UIA to attend technical and business oriented workshops; represent EDS as a leading global technology services company in workshop and networking opportunities; support the development of youth participating in the High School Computer Competition (HSCC), IT Showcase and Youth Technology Camp.
Members of the UIA team were actively engaged in the preparation, participation and performance of the HSCC team from Detroit, MI which took 4th place in the national competition. The 4th place finish earned each student a $1,000 Bemley Scholarship. Detroit chapter has much love for UIA members (Regina Mitchell, Ev Patterson, Anthony Smith, Roy Christmon) and other EDS volunteers (Sonita Matthews and Anu Somari).
UIA looks forward to expanding EDS' involvement in future BDPA conferences as well as with local BDPA Chapters and the BDPA Education & Technology Foundation.
