ABOUT NFBPA - NORTH TEXAS CHAPTER
	Who We Are We truly believe that NFBPA is the nation’s most progressive results-oriented organization for African-American public servants. The NFBPA is dedicated to providing the highest level of public service while advancing Black leadership in the community and the nation. We are ably represented by more than 300 jurisdictions throughout the country with over 40 local chapters and local membership of 230 members. NFBPA’s success is attributable to a committed leadership and dedicated members.  Today, as we look ahead to the opportunities and challenges of the future, NFBPA’s presence is even more critical.  The North Texas Chapter (NTC) is always seeking new thoughts and ideas to broaden the positive impact of NFBPA initiatives and programs. The North Texas Chapter comprises incorporated and unincorporated Tarrant, Dallas and Collins Counties.  The chapter currently has approximately 200 members and is continually growing. Our valued membership includes elected and appointed officials, municipal managers, corporate executives, deans, faculty, students, and public administrators from the local, state and federal offices of jurisdictions operating throughout our beautiful region. The key cities in our region include Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Garland and Plano. In addition, our Chapter covers other key cities in the area that are growing.  The North Texas Chapter hosted the 1988 national NFBPA conference and hosted FORUM 2006 in Fort Worth, Texas, April 8–12, 2006. Our Mission NFBPA is rapidly emerging as the nation’s premiere association of Black public leadership with a rapidly growing reputation for proudly strengthening the capacity of federal, state, and local government managers active in a range of multidisciplinary roles. This important status is maintained and fortified through dynamic on-going training and professional development programs, aligned with a powerful network of Black leaders in influential public positions. The NFBPA is committed to strengthening the position of Blacks within the challenging and competitive field of public administration; to prompting an increase in the number of qualified Blacks appointed to executive positions in the public service arena; to helping and grooming younger, aspiring administrative leaders for senior management positions in the years ahead. The following critical goals allow the NFBPA to realize its commitment and mission:			Our History Where They Are? What They Are Saying?
