Discouraged about the impact you can have? Ever think that one person doesn’t have much influence? One person, focused and passionate, can make a tremendous difference!

This week we are joined by R. Wayne Hicks, Executive Director of Black Data Processing Associates Education and Technology Foundation. BDPA was founded in 1975 out of concern that minorities were not adequately represented in the workforce of the then emerging computer industry. BETF, the Education and Technology Foundation of BDPA is a 501© (3) nonprofit charity established in 1992 to financially support student education and technology initiatives.

An active leader in the organization since 1988, Wayne has followed his passion for education and applied his skill and dedication to expanding opportunities for disadvantaged youth across the country. Working at both the local and national level, Wayne is the embodiment of the ripple effect.

Listen in and gain an inspiration for your own passion and purpose.
