ThoughtWorks Renews Sponsorship of BDPA Dallas Chapter

ThoughtWorks made a commitment to renew its in-kind funding for facilities and food at the monthly program meetings hosted for technology professionals in the Dallas area. BDPA Dallas has used this continued relationship with ThoughtWorks to broaden its appeal to the community. The chapter is now the 12th-largest in all of BDPA. BDPA Dallas chapter president Chad White has his eyes firmly set on cracking the 'Top 10' in the coming weeks!

ThoughtWorks is community of passionate individuals whose purpose is to revolutionize software design, creation and delivery, while advocating for positive social change.



They are focused on helping our technology industry improve, and believe in sharing what they learn. They do this by writing books, blogging, running events, talking at conferences, and championing open source. They also do it by being part of the monthly professional development seminars put on each month by BDPA Dallas chapter.

We seek to uncover similar corporate relationships in all 47 local chapters around the nation. BDPA chapters in Cincinnati and Dallas have now unveiled their corporate partners for the monthly program meeting. What corporation is stepping up in your town to 'make a difference' for African American digital professionals?

ThoughtWorks Renews Support of BDPA Dallas Chapter

ThoughtWorks renewed its sponsorship of our local chapter in Dallas, Texas.   The company agreed to provide in-kind facilities donation for the chapter's monthly program meetings.   This is the second year that ThoughtWorks has made the commitment to house these monthly professional development workshops.

ThoughtWorks is a global IT consultancy providing Agile-based systems development and consulting services. They have pioneered many of the most advanced and successful Agile methods of software development and best practices used in the industry today.

In other words, they build amazing software. It’s amazing because it’s the stuff which makes or breaks companies; software which creates competitive advantage. ThoughtWorks see building software as a social activity, best done by teams of brilliant people, not a mechanistic process where individuals are interchangeable cogs in a master plan.  Their hiring model focuses on finding outstanding talent, over the mastery of tools.

BDPA Dallas, the 7th-largest chapter in the nation led by president Chad White, seeks to make a difference for African Americans as they advance in their information technology industry from the classroom to the boardroom.
