BBPA President Pauline Christian

The Black Business Professionals Association (BBPA) continues its tradition of strong leadership with the recent reelection of president Pauline Christian.

In addition, BBPA members elected members for the positions of second vice president, communications co-chair, chair of the young professionals, membership chair and three directors-at-large.

Christian’s victory was clear as an overwhelming majority of members voted for her over Floyd Wilson, current first vice president of the BBPA. Christian, who was first elected as BBPA president in 2009 will retain her position for the next two years.

Known for her call-to-action type of vision, Christian has already initiated the first National Black Business and Professional Convention, brought on new sponsors and stakeholders, and much more. She will continue her commitment to seeing the BBPA grow, while making further strides.

Her goals include: wealth creation and economic empowerment, a significant increase in scholarships and higher education; polishing and developing BBPA’s instruments relating to protocol, ethics, governance and engagement; preserving the BBPA legacy and intellectual property; increasing membership and the young entrepreneur arms; and encouraging the BBPA to develop more revenue streams.

With Christian as the reelected leader, the BBPA is destined to continue to move forward and make great strides.
