THE ATLANTA CHAPTER OF BDPA WAS FOUNDED IN 1981 BY A GROUP OF DEDICATED AFRICAN AMERICAN IT PROFESSIONALS. THE CHAPTER WAS FOUNDED TO IMPROVE NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES AND INCREASE THE TECHNOLOGICAL AWARENESS OF IT'S MEMBERS THROUGH EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS. THE ATLANTA CHAPTER EXISTS TO SERVE ITS MEMBERS AND THE COMMUNITY.
Black Data Processing Associates (BDPA) was founded in 1975 by Earl A. Pace, Jr. and the late David Wimberly after the two met in Philadelphia to discuss their concerns about minorities in the data processing field. There was a lack of minorities in middle and upper management, low recruitment and poor preparation of minorities for these positions, and an overall lack of career mobility.

"To me being a part of BDPA, means being a part of a non-profit organization dedicated to the professional and personal development of African Americans who have an interest in Information Technology and related fields and whose aim it is to mentor and development minority youth from the "Classroom to the Boardroom"."
