The National Corporate Sponsorship Program was established to develop formal alliances that involve Corporate America more closely with BDPA programs, activities and goals. Corporate sponsors not only offer financial support but also participate in programs developed to enhance the technical and professional skills of the community. The investment in BDPA creates positive exposure to a technically diverse membership of African-American Information Technology professionals and students. The program is designed to offer corporations an opportunity to partner with BDPA to meet corporate goals and objectives for recruiting, employee development, philanthropic endeavors and enhanced image in the African American Community. The program is open to all corporations with a sincere interest in pursuing the vision, mission, objectives and goals of BDPA. The conceptual and fundamental scope of the program is to: • Link BDPA strategic initiatives to the objectives of the corporation • Document mutual understanding, measurements and goals • Develop plans, assign resources and confirm milestones for viewing progress toward the goals • Provide a forum to interact with other IT and HR industry leaders and professionals • Increase exposure opportunities to technically competent and diverse IT professionals and students • Enhance loyalty in the corporation amongst employees and customers In order to pull together all the components of a successful program, BDPA partners with corporations, associations and other strategic alliance partners, but by far, corporate support is a major component of BDPA’s success.

BDPA CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM OVERVIEW
BDPA serves as a catalyst for youth, high school students, college students, IT professionals,
entrepreneurs, IT senior managers, corporations, educational institutions and government agencies, to
explore IT opportunities for professional growth and technical development. BDPA provides an opportunity
for employers, career professionals and students to network and pursue resources for IT talent and skilled

the 4-day conference, African American IT professionals share their experiences with their peers, while
participants from across the country take part in our Career Fair, explore the displays at our Technology
Expo, and attend seminars and workshops reflecting leading-edge technologies and strategies for IT
professionals.
BDPA CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM RATIONALE
The National Corporate Sponsorship Program was established to develop formal alliances that involve
Corporate America more closely with BDPA programs, activities and goals. Corporate sponsors not only
offer financial support but also participate in programs developed to enhance the technical and professional
skills of the community. The investment in BDPA creates positive exposure to a technically diverse
membership of African-American Information Technology professionals and students.
The program is designed to offer corporations an opportunity to partner with BDPA to meet corporate goals
and objectives for recruiting, employee development, philanthropic endeavors and enhanced image in the
African American Community. The program is open to all corporations with a sincere interest in pursuing the
vision, mission, objectives and goals of BDPA.
The conceptual and fundamental scope of the program is to:
• Link BDPA strategic initiatives to the objectives of the corporation
• Document mutual understanding, measurements and goals
• Develop plans, assign resources and confirm milestones for viewing progress toward the goals
• Provide a forum to interact with other IT and HR industry leaders and professionals
• Increase exposure opportunities to technically competent and diverse IT professionals and
students
• Enhance loyalty in the corporation amongst employees and customers
In order to pull together all the components of a successful program, BDPA partners with corporations,
associations and other strategic alliance partners, but by far, corporate support is a major component of
BDPA’s success. Sponsoring levels available are listed below and opportunities are detailed in our
comprehensive corporate sponsorship portfolio. (2012 Corporate Opportunities Portfolio.pdf)
