Who is the Black Professional Alliance
The Black Professional Alliance exists as a collaborative network of individuals, organizations, and businesses working together to advance the growth of Black professionals in the Central Texas area.
We are a community-driven platform dedicated to empowering black professionals and fostering inclusivity in the workplace. Our mission is to create a supportive network that champions diversity, provides career advancement resources, and advocates for equality.
In 2005, Greg Marshall and Roger Davis saw a need for a professional space that catered to Black professionals in the Central Texas area. They co-hosted an inaugural mixer to create a community where Black professionals could join for fellowship, networking, and support. This event was the seed that eventually led to the official founding of the Black Professional Alliance of Austin in 2012.
