National BDPA VP-Member Services Paulette Johnson-Davis and I began a dialogue last month on ways that BETF could support her efforts to improve member services for BDPA's K-12 youth education program. She identified some specific ways that she would use the funding with us ... and her efforts led to this $5,000 grant award.
BETF was created in 1992 by National BDPA. It is nice to see that this 19-year old strategic alliance is still paying dividends for African Americans in the IT industry who seek to advance their careers from the classroom to the boardroom!
