Call For Nominations - President Elect? 

In order to more fully engage the general membership in the operations of BDPA Columbus, an update was made to the Chapter bylaws, effective September 12, 2009.  As part of this update, the role of Strategy & Planning Vice President as President Elect was implemented.  The term of the Strategy & Planning VP provides continuity for the Chapter by providing a means for the chapter’s strategic direction to move forward while also providing a forum for the VP to learn the roles and responsibilities of the position from the incumbent President. 

BDPA members, did you know that when you make your pledge to the United Way campaign you have a choice of where and how your donated funds will be used?   Yes, that's right!  United Way agencies, throughout the United States, have options referred to as either Open Donor Choice, Donor Designated, Contributor Choice, or Specific Care.  Federal government employees can donate to BETF using Combined Federal Campaign (CFC) code #11174. While the names are different, each is an option that allows the giver (you) to directly specify a 501(c)3 organization as the recipient of your donation.  BDPA Education & Technology Foundation (BETF) is that tax-exempt organization for the local BDPA chapters.
