As of this summer, the President's Volunteer Service Award (PVSA) platform has been restructured by Points of Light, the company tasked with managing the award on behalf of the White House. Volunteers seeking an award through PVSA are no longer able to self-report their service activities directly to PVSA, but instead are required to communicate their hours to a certifying organization, such as Business Professionals of America. In an effort to continue providing our membership with the opportunity to participate in this national recognition program, BPA has established a new reporting process in order to apply for a service award.

On September 5th, 2019 the South Texas College Student Activities Department hosted an event to help student student organization recruit new members. Our newest Post-Secondary chapter at South Texas College in McAllen was there to make their debut. Over twenty student organizations attended this event and BPA was well represented. We were excited to have many students interested in joining the new chapter and look forward to seeing their membership grow this year. The chapter had a great first meeting later that afternoon.

John "Jack" Adams was one of the founding fathers of the Office Education Association (OEA) which later became the organization that we know as Business Professionals of America. He served as our first Executive Director and on the National Board of Trustees.

Michaela Riggins, BPA sophomore from Lamesa High School, won "The Golden Ticket" award for the NO BULL Challenge video contest. NO BULL is partnered with Business Professionals of America and is sponsored by the National Organizations for Youth Safety (NOYS).
