Overview.

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 50 members.

NFBPA’s success is attributable to 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 Central Texas Chapter (CTC) is always seeking new thoughts and ideas to broaden the positive impact of NFBPA initiatives and programs.

The Central Texas Chapter comprises incorporated and unincorporated Hayes, Travis, Bell, Bastrop, and Williamson Counties. The chapter currently has approximately 50 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 Austin, Round Rock, Georgetown, San Marcos, and Killeen. In addition, our Chapter covers other key cities in the area that are growing.

Our Mission

The NFBPA is committed to strengthening the position of Blacks within the challenging and competitive field of public administration.

NFBPA is rapidly emerging as the nation’s premier 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 ongoing 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; 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.

Our Goals.

To identify, motivate, and groom younger, emerging Black talent
To provide intensive, rigorous training, and on-going education
To conduct legitimate research on selected social and economic issues
To serve as a magnet organization by stimulating the proactive networking of the public, private, and academic sectors
To sponsor and conduct local, regional, and national forums addressing timely, relevant issues and concerns
To develop and maintain a national database on the nation’s growing community of Black administrative leaders
