Our Mission
The mission of Business Professionals of America is to contribute to the preparation of a world-class workforce through the advancement of leadership, citizenship, academic, and technological skills.
Business Professionals of America is an intra-curricular activity that is part of an education program designed to develop leadership abilities, competency in business occupations, and interest in American business. BPA is a national career and technical student organization. The organization consists of 23 state associations and more than 43,000 members.
Calling all BPA members! Are you willing to test your courage, have a great time, and benefit a positive organization all at the same time? What are we referring to, you may ask. Well, it's the ever so famous, Polar Bear Plunge in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. The Polar Bear Plunge is an event that gathers thousands of people to take a quick swim in the Atlantic Ocean. Seems easy…right? The date of this phenomenal event is Sunday, February 3rd, 2008.
Please don't deny us your presence for the simple fact that the ocean may be freezing that day. We're sure you can bear the cold for a brief amount of time in order to benefit the Special Olympics of Delaware. If you're interested in taking the plunge, you must raise at least $50 and meet at Dolle’s on the boardwalk at 11:45 a.m. Registration can be done via the internet at www.sode.org.
The State Officer Leadership Team is looking forward to a great turnout, as we take the plunge for the Special Olympics of Delaware.
