Message from BDPA Chicago Chapter President, Pamela Sexton

Pamela Sexton, President BDPA Chicago

Greetings BDPA Chicago Chapter Family!

Best wishes to each of you and your families for an abundance of blessings and joy! As I reflect on our journey together, I realize that BDPA has been and remains a great source of support, opportunity and empowerment for so many of us. I am especially proud to stand with you in service at a time when our community needs the BDPA Chicago Chapter most. Corporations are beginning to hire and there is a need to locate top IT talent! There is so much work to be done, and as a volunteer organization, we look to our dedicated members, supporters and friends to help us not only continue our endeavors, but to exceed our goals.


Our annual Awards Gala, which will be held on January 22, 2011, promises to be another memorable occasion, and I am looking forward to seeing all of you as well as new friends who will join us. This year we will shine the "spotlight” on our CEO & CIO champions who not only actively support our "from the Classroom to the Boardroom” mission, but who also visibly promote Information Technology as an enabler of business results!


BDPA Chicago Chapter, we have a really wonderful opportunity to acknowledge the committed leaders of our IT community and give personal thanks to our Corporate Sponsors. Please join me in full support of this event. I am asking my leadership team and the Corporate Advisory Council to make a personal commitment to contribute to the success of this annual event. Something as simple as a Facebook blast to friends will help us promote the annual Awards Banquet. Please give some thought as to how you, too, can be instrumental in support of the chapter. I would like to also thank you for being a difference maker and for your ongoing support of the BDPA Chicago Chapter!

Yours truly,


Pamela Sexton, President
