Business Advisory Board
Creating Connections for Our Members
Connections with business and industry are extremely crucial to the success of our program and services. We rely on representatives from many companies to provide financial support, arrange volunteer support, offer employment opportunities, and supply certification advice/credibility, management expertise and much more. Without the support of many companies, our organization would not be as strong as it is currently.
Texas BPA is proud to have a dynamic group of individuals serving as our Texas Board of Directors. These individuals are instrumental in obtaining additional financial support for the organization as well as assisting with management issues. The Board seeks to provide increased opportunities for Texas BPA members, ensure that conferences are conducted fairly and work diligently to uphold the purposes of Business Professionals of America.
