BDPA New Jersey chapter marketing director Derris Boomer is leading an aggressive effort to provide a
monthly webinar series designed to advance the careers of African Americans in the IT industry from the classroom to the boardroom. The
February 2012 webinar was focused on those BDPA members interested in moving forward as entrepreneurs or business owners. The guest speaker was Hicks Enterprises
chief executive officer Wayne Hicks (known on this blog as
'Villager'). The topic was '
Small Business Opportunities in a Down Market: How to Avoid 7 Common Traps'.
The back-and-forth exchange of ideas by the presenter and the online participants was both enlightening and educational. Here is the
14-page PowerPoint deck used by the presenter during the webinar:
Our hope is that BDPA members across the nation will
review the webinar seminar series offered by our
New Jersey chapter ... and add relevant webinars to your personal calendar.
Ongoing professional education is an important part of the BDPA experience!
