BCAGlobal (www.BCAGlobal.org) is currently seeking individuals to serve on our Board of Director's to support rapid growth and evolving forward. Our focus over the past few years has been developing tools and resources for the next generation of food service professionals of color with our newest program "Mindful Eating for the Beloved Community". Building the brigdes and finding the common ground for BIPOC communities to be supported in the areas of Food Insecurity, Food Waste, Nutritional Literacy and Sustainabilty are at the problem center and need to be addressed to comprehensively uplift communities. We are seeking persons knowledgeable about "philanthropy" and play a role providing guidance for the development of fundraising and resources to scale our organization. We anticipate continuing the expansion of our programming and a corporate executive or business entrepreneur who is experienced in scaling and transitioning an organization would be a valuable asset especially during this time. Our story of touching and changing lives is a powerful narrative of what is possible and hopefully the right additions to our board will assist the organization in turning the corner. If this mission, purpose and proven track record moves you please connect with us and consider being a Board of Director with BCAGlobal. Thank You.

Mission Statement
The BCA is a nationwide non-profit educational and networking organization of hospitality and food service professionals. Incorporated as a 501(c)(3) in 1998, our mission is to create exposure and provide educational and professional opportunities for culinary and hospitality professionals of color. We accomplish this objective by providing quality educational and employment resources, job coaching, mentoring and assistance with placement, and networking support. Additionally, the BCA exposes inner-city high school students to the culinary arts through workshops and opportunities that introduce culinary arts as a viable career option.
Description
In 1993, three graduates of the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY, including the current president, Alex Askew, met to discuss issues concerning African-Americans in the culinary and hospitality industries. The resulting organization, the Black Culinarian Alliance, was created to analyze and address the lack of education, awareness and exposure for African-Americans in these fields. The Black Culinarian Alliance would prove beneficial for both African-Americans and the culinary and hospitality industries. With education as a cornerstone, the organization moved forward in promoting career opportunities for African-Americans in the culinary and hospitality fields. Operating as the Black Culinarian Alumni Chapter of the Culinary Institute of America, it was the first membership of its kind for minority graduates of a culinary institution.
Incorporated as the Black Culinarian Alliance in 1998, and now known simply as the BCA, membership is composed of all ethnic groups and represents one of the largest percentages of professional women in the industry. Embracing this inclusion and understanding the rapidly growing multicultural audience and marketplace, the BCA continues with its objectives and remains focused on its mission as it pertains to all culinary professionals and students of color.
