The History Of The
Black Data Processing Assocation
The Black Data Processing Assocation (BDPA) was
founded in 1975 by Earl A. Pace, Jr. and
the late David Wimberly after the two met in
Philadelphia to discuss their concerns about
minorities in the data processing field. There
was a lack of minorities in middle and upper
management, low recruitment and poor preparation
of minorities for these positions, and an overall
lack of career mobility.
Through ceaseless drive and personal networking,
the founders built an organization of 35 members,
hosted presentations to improve data processing
skills and launched a job opportunities
announcement service. This nucleus has grown to
over 55 chapters throughout the United States and
thousands of members.
